Wagarwadi watershed of Parbhani district falls under semi-arid tropics of basaltic terrain. The water balance components were analysed to find out the ground water recharge, which is the main input to the aquifer MODFLOW. Well characteristics like transmissivity and specific yield were determined by carrying out the pumping test.

Study on qualitative performance of different soil and water conservation measures was carried during 2004-05 in Daregaon watershed, which is located in Aurangabad district of Maharashtra state. Soil and water conservation structure namely continuous contour trenches, loose boulder structures, earthen nala bund and cement nala bund respectively were evaluated.
