Introduction to integrated approach for the management of watersheds; Watershed hydrology: runoff and sediment load estimation, instrumentation, and monitoring of hydro-meteorological variables at watershed-scale, discharge measurement, sediment (suspended and bed load) measurement, control of soil erosion, use of GIS for integration of different aspects of watersheds; Rainwater management: rainwater harvesting, artificial recharge, types and design of water harvesting and recharge structures; Irrigation management: use of conserved water; Land degradation, soil quality and water quality aspects, soil conservation strategies, water conveyance structures-spillways, culverts, etc; Flood routing through channels and reservoirs, flood control through single purpose and multipurpose reservoir operation, mitigation and adaptation strategies, flood modeling using GIS, flood damage case studies; Droughts: causes, types, drought indices, control and adaptation strategies; Drainage: estimation of drainage coefficient, design of surface and subsurface drainage systems, control of soil salinity; Climate change: general circulation models (GCMs), IPCC climate change scenarios, impacts of climate change and land use change on watersheds; Case studies.
