Development of watershed’s has been a part of Indian Nation’s developmental programs and is aimed at uplifting the rural poor and to assure food security. Watershed development helps to improve the groundwater resource, assured quality water supply for drinking and irrigation and to increase the crop yield. In the chevella watershed 419 Rain water harvesting structures are constructed and created a space for storage of 428,265 cu. m of water resource. It is observed that 1392 ha. m of water recharged from rainfall and 30.46 ha. m from Rain water harvesting structures. As a whole 1422.46 ha. m recharged the aquifer and the water table increased correspondingly. It is found that after the implementation of watershed program, concentrations of almost all the water quality parameters improved and suitable for drinking and irrigation. Regarding the crop area, in Kharif season 418.445 ha. m and in Rabi season 254.952 ha. m increased.
