Watershed work predominantly helps to hold and prevent water runoff during/after rainfall. Many strategies and methods exist. We mention a couple of them as implemented by GSST and as they are featured in the album. Contour Bunding is a way that places stones along natural rises of a landscape that helps hold water and also prevent wind erosion of the soil. Gabion dams are like small dams made of cage or cylinder filled with rocks, concrete or sand and soil to retain water or divert its flow.
