Abstract

A watershed is a hydrological unit bounded by natural ridges and allows the runoff due to rainfall to drain in a well-defined drainage pattern of streams flowing within the watershed boundary. The present study reveals the socioeconomic factors for integrated watershed management at the sub catchment of the Beas River in Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh for sustainable development. The use of field-based data, satellite images and quantitative GIS analysis is used for precise information of the study area. This study highlighted the socioeconomic issues for the sustainable development and management activities.
