Not AvailableWatershed management is considered as a way for
sustainable rural development and thus impact
evaluation is a must. The common approach of postclassification
comparison of pre- and post-implementation
satellite imageries for watershed impact evaluation
suffers from serious limitations, mainly ignoring
the changes which are not due to watershed interventions.
To minimize such biases, control area approach
is proposed and relative change in watershed compared
to control area is attributed to watershed management.
The studied four clusters of watershed in
Vidarbha region, Maharashtra show that the effect of
the watershed could stand out irrespective of pre- and
post-implementation conditions of satellite imageries.Not Availabl
