Watershed Contribution for Ecosystem Balance

Seminar Paper , 2021 , 18 Pages , Grade: 4

Economy - Environment economics

This seminar paper aims to review the incontribution of the watershed management in ecological servise and contribution. The specific objective this paper is to examined the importance of watersheds and how the diverse ecosystems within these areas provide a range of ecosystem services.

Increasing weather variability and climate change are contributing to land and natural/environmental resource degradation by exposing soils to extreme conditions and straining the capacity of existing land management practices to maintain resource quality. Integrating watershed management in managing natural resources management concepts for managing natural resources in a sustainable and environmentally manner will show in encouraging impacts, if it will be applied on a large scale and over a long period. Integrated Watershed management (IWM) implies the judicious use of natural resources such as land, water, biodiversity and overall ecosystem to obtain optimum production and productivity with minimum disturbance to the environment.
