Abstract: Rainwater Harvesting & Watershed Management plays a major role in water conservation & also in reducing soil erosion. In coastal Maharashtra most of the districts face the problem of water storage at the time of monsoons due to the heavy rainfall, due to which the most of the water is percolated into the ground or flows to the river etc. which causes lack of availability of water after the end of monsoon seasons. This study aims to cater the water scarcity by implementing watershed management & rainwater harvesting systems. To model & analyze watershed & Rainwater harvesting project in our college (Vishwaniketan?s IMEET) area to fulfill water requirement.
