Flow Chart for RWH and SWC Measures

Flow chart for the identification of potential RWH sites.
Water harvesting is the activity of direct collection of rainwater, which can be stored for direct use or can be recharged into the groundwater.

Design of Earthen Bunding

Earthen embankments play a major role in watershed planning and management..

Design of Bench Terrace

The components of bench terrace are determined based on the average annual rainfall, soil types, soil depth and average slope of the land. In addition, the purpose of bench terrace is also considered for the design

Design of Trenching

The trenches are constructed in different geometrical configurations namely contour trenching, continuous trenching, staggered trenching and in line trenching.

Design of LBCD

Loose Boulder Check Dams are made of boulders usually round shaped with 6-12 inches diameter placed across the gully. LBCD should be made in a series on a drainage line, with each structure dividing the overall catchment of the drainage line into smaller sections.

Design of Gabion

Gabion Walls are generally analyzed as gravity retaining walls, that is, walls which use their own weight to resist the lateral earth pressures.

Design of Farm Pond

The design of farm ponds includes determination of capacity, its location, utilization plan and shape and size.

Design of Check Dam

In gully control the structural measures protect the soil against erosion and also help to conserve the rainwater. The earth plugs and check dams form water storage in the gully which can be used as per need, later on. Also, due to obstruction on moving runoff, the soil scouring through gully section gets controlled.
