the key aspects for sustainable development
Inter-generational equity
minimize any adverse impacts on resources and
environment
stop over-exploitation of resources, reduce waste discharge
and emissions and maintain ecological balance
Ecological Balance
a state of dynamic equilibrium within a community of
organisms in which genetic, species and ecosystem
diversity remain relatively stable, subject to gradual
changes through natural succession.

Carrying capacity
The carrying capacity of a biological species in an
environment is the maximum population size of
the species that the environment can sustain
indefinitely, given the food, habitat, water, and
other necessities available in the environment.
Carrying capacity has two basic components
Supporting capacity (the capacity to regenerate)

Rainwater Harvesting
Objectives of Rain Water Harvesting:
• Rain water harvesting fulfill the demand of water in domestic, industrial, and
agricultural sectors.
• It helps to raise the water table by recharging ground water.
• It helps in minimizing ground water pollution.
• The proper harvesting of rain water reduces soil erosion, flooding
and run off. It reduces the incidence of floods.
Techniques of Rainwater Harvesting
This can be done by constructing special structures like dug wells,
percolation pits, lagoons, check dams, tanks, etc.
Broadly there are two ways of harvesting rainwater:
Surface runoff harvesting
Roof top rainwater harvesting

Watershed Management
A watershed is an area of land that drains to a common location. A
watershed can vary in size, they can represent the area draining to a small
stream to the entire area draining to an ocean

Watershed Management
Benefits of Watershed Management
Ensure ecological balance
Stabilize income even under unfavorable weather conditions.
Minimize the risks of drought, landslides floods, and help to reduce
erosion and sediment production.
Proper utilization of marginal or waste lands through alternate
land use systems
Maximize productivity per unit area, per unit time and per unit of
water.
Scope for beneficial developmental activities like domestic water
supply, irrigation, hydropower generation, etc.
