Watershed Management

The river is etched on the surface of the earth that is naturally collector and distributor of water flow and material brought back from the upstream to downstream of a drainage area to a higher place of the lower and eventually empties into the sea. Areas where river water obtained is called a rain catchment Watershed.

In simple terms, a basin bounded by two ridges which act as water catchment area (catchment area). Water that falls between the two ridge will flow through the tributaries which then accumulates in the main river channel towards the sea.
