The study was carried out 2020-2021 at the Gharat watershed is located in Pindwara district. To evaluate the impact of various biological and physical soil and water conservation (SWC) measures, implemented in the Gharat watershed during 2011-12 in combating minimal land resource use, land degradation caused by soil erosion, and lack of implementation of agriculture technology. Therefore, evaluation is required to determine the success or failure of conservation measures and to alter future planning appropriately. Due to the implementation of the watershed program, arable area increased by 16.56 percent, irrigated area by 53 percent, and additional farm income increased by approximately 17 lakhs, according to data collected through field observation, survey, semi-structured interviews, and field measurements. SWC measures applied in this watershed, cropping intensity and irrigated area increased from 122.12 percent to 137.08 percent, 51ha to 78ha respectively. The understanding and adaption of soil and water conservation strategies has a favorable influence on the overall development of the watershed. Existing SWC measures should be improved for continuing monitoring and extended as part of an integrated strategy to restore damaged regions to their full potential. It provides project planners and managers, programme leaders, and policymakers with details about actual project accomplishments in the format they need.
