Watersheds are important landscapes that function as natural units for managing water, soil, and other natural resources. These systems' dynamics are complicated, including a variety of environmental, socioeconomic, and technical aspects. As mankind faces the multifaceted issues of climate change, population increase, and sustainable development, the need for good watershed management has never been greater. "Watershed Dynamics: Strategies and Practices for Sustainable Development" seeks to provide a thorough guide to understanding, managing, and preserving these critical ecosystems. This book is organised to cover a wide variety of issues relevant to integrated watershed management. It begins with an overview of the subject, setting the groundwork by investigating historical circumstances and changing methods.
This book examines remote sensing technologies and techniques, as well as their applications and interactions with other technologies such as GIS. The interdisciplinary approach adopted in this book reflects the complexities of watershed management and underlines the significance of collaboration in achieving sustainable development goals.
