Question

Which of the following activities can also be useful for watershed management?

• A. Nisha is making a grassy golf course in an area.
• B. Suman is making a wooden badminton court in an area.
• C. Amrita is planting flowering plants in an area.
• D. Nitya is opening a poultry farm near her house.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

Amrita is planting flowering plants in an area.

The watershed development programme includes water storage, soil and humidity conservation, tree plantation, horticulture, and pasture land development. All these activities help in conserving the water. It also increases the groundwater level. Poultry farm doesn't help in water conservation, and making a badminton court reduces the contact of rain with the sandy ground.
