    Development of Scale for Evaluation of Watershed Development Programme
    (MPKV, Rahuri, 2023) Jadhav Sakshi Shivnath; Atre, A.A.
    The research conducted in this thesis addresses a critical gap in the field of watershed development programmes. Despite numerous qualitative evaluations of such programmes, there is a dearth of comprehensive scoring systems that can effectively prioritize indicators, calculate scores, and facilitate comparisons between different watershed development initiatives. The primary objectives of this study were to identify and prioritize key evaluation indicators, design a robust scoring system for measuring the impact of watershed development programmes, and provide a framework for comparing diverse projects. Through the application of advanced analytical techniques, including the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), this research has successfully assigned weights to each evaluation indicator, quantifying their significance and influence in decision-making processes. The results obtained for various biophysical, socio-economic, and sustainability indices have led to meaningful insights into the extent of development achieved in each program. The results reveal the importance of specific indicators in evaluation of watershed development programmes. In the biophysical category, the Critical Area Index received the highest weightage of 0.135564, followed by the Water Storage Capacity Utilization Index at 0.131847. The Livestock Production Value Index had the lowest weightage of 0.028817.In the socio-economic category, the Poverty Index received the highest weightage of 0.178023, followed by the Regular Employment Generation Index at 0.12468

    IMPACT OF SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES ON CARBON SEQUESTRATION IN THE WATERSHED
    (MPKV, Rahuri, 2023) Shelar Rahul Sanjay; Nandgude, S.B.
    Climate change is the defining issue of our time and we are at a defining moment. Without drastic action today, adapting to these impacts in the future will be immensely difficult and costly. Therefore, technically and economically feasible strategies are needed to mitigate the consequences of increased atmospheric CO2. One such strategy that has gained considerable attention and importance is carbon sequestration. It implies transferring atmospheric CO2 into long-lived pools and storing it securely so it is not immediately reemitted. There are several effective methods to achieve carbon sequestration, such as afforestation and reforestation, soil carbon sequestration, carbon capture and storage (CCS) and direct air capture. However, the potential role of soil and water conservation (SWC) measures in carbon sequestration is often overlooked and undervalued on a global scale. SWC measures are crucial components of watershed development programs that have the potential to significantly contribute to climate change mitigation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate and quantify the impact of soil and water conservation measures on mitigating climate change, particularly their potential to decrease carbon emissions and increase carbon sequestration

    LAND SUITABILITY FOR AGRICULTURE IN A BABHULGAON WATERSHED USING RS AND GIS
    (MPKV, Rahuri, 2023) Bhale Nilesh Narayan; Bansod, R.D.
    Land is one of the most important natural resources found on the earth planet. The future of a country largely depends on the effective development, utilization and management of land in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Under present situations, where the land is a limiting factor, it is impossible to bring more area under cultivation. The land is either over used or under used without considering its potential and constraints. This consequence brings a set of different problems like under production, land degradation, land use conflicts, etc. Therefore, concept of land capability was evolved. Land capability is the basis of watershed management programmes. The basic principle of soil and water conservation is to use the land and according to its capability and treat the land according to its needs. Remote sensing and GIS play a key role in generation of spatial information and mapping of land resources. Considering all these facts the present study was carried out for Babhulgaon watershed near Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth Rahuri.
