What is Watershed in Irrigation Engineering?
Watershed
An area of land that directs precipitation and snowmelt into streams and rivers, ultimately flowing into reservoirs, bays, or the ocean, is known as a watershed.
All of the precipitation-related water, whether from rain or snow, runoff in a drainage basin and drains out through a single outlet.
Varieties of Watersheds
Macro-Watershed: Big watersheds, such river basins, that span large geographic areas.
Micro-Watershed: Tinier regions, including those encompassing a lone farmland or a tiny creek.
Sub-watershed: A sub-watershed is a more focused area inside a larger watershed that is made up of a specific tributary or sub-region.
