Abstract
coastal Maharashtra face the perennial problem of water shortage despite of getting heavy rains during the monsoons. Lack of water is a particularly acute problem during the months after the monsoon season. Raigad is one such district, where a number of villages and hamlets inhabited by Adivasi’s or tribal’s face acute water shortage leads to many health and socio-economic problems. Also because of lack of knowledge at village level causes the water scarcity. This study aim to cater the water scarcity by implementing watershed management practices. Watershed is not only the hydrological unit but it is also related with the socio-political-ecological factors which plays crucial role in determining food, social, and economical security and provides life support services to rural people of any country. Watershed is land surface bounded by a divide which contributes runoff to a common point. Watershed management basically involves management of land surface and vegetation so as to conserve and utilize maximum water that falls on the area of watershed and also conserve the soil for long term benefits to the farmer and his society. Keywords - Watershed, Water Scarcity, Perennial, Soil Erosion, Watershed, Watershed Management Approaches, Watershed Development Programs, History of Watershed Development, Objectives, Components of Watershed, Community, Agricultural.
