Watershed development is the set of practices to impound the flowing rainwater, and thus help it percolate. But the groundwater recharge is also dependent on many other factors like the amount of rainfall, rainfall pattern, topographic slope, soil type, soil thickness, rock type etc. How do we measure the impact of watershed development on the groundwater?
Please do share publications on this topic.
Thank you.
Well,
have a look at the attached pdf.

I think it depends mainly on the characteristics of watershed such as type of soil, and the intensity and its spatial distribution of rainfall. From the study of several dams located on steep slope area (Red Sea Mountains) leads to sedimentation, therefore prevents groundwater recharge from reservoirs.
Dear Nikhil Joshi,
I am sending research article on watershed evaluation and farmers preferences-an experiences from watershed project in Karnataka. In this paper 12 watershed were evaluated . for various soil and water conservation measures which were implemented in water shed by concerned Project implementing agency. certainly this paper will be helpful for you.
Have a look at this:

May be with regard to modifying the watershed slope this link may be useful.
