Abstract
The village selected in the catchment has severely affected by the water scarcity, though the villages are surrounded by two perennial rivers, namely the Chambal and Alnia River, a tributary of Chambal. Because of water scarcity, public are migrating to the nearby area where they can get water for their animals. In the area, both soil and water conservation practices should be initiated at priority basis. Support from the Government and local institution or water related NGO is completely absent and therefore, immediate attention is required.
