为了实现一个流域的持续可持续发展，人们希望对诸如水这样的自然资源进行有效的评估和利用。一般以流域为单位对水资源进行评价。由于水的需求和可用性随时间和空间的变化而变化，因此需要对水资源进行管理，以满足可持续的需求。此外，为了实现可持续性，必须考虑到水资源的社会、经济和环境方面。然而，很难将所有这些指标都放在一个平台上。本研究在印度恰蒂斯加尔邦的Piperiya流域提出了一个集水文、环境、生命和政策(HELP)于一体的流域可持续性指数(WSI)。该流域面积约2400平方公里，是Hasdeo河流域的一部分，位于Chhattisgarh的Koriya区。此外，该地区的大多数人口是部落和文盲。在这一地区，为群众提供安全和充足的水是一项挑战。区内山体众多，岩石地质构造，坡度陡。 The district faces an acute water shortage for drinking as well as irrigation. Further, the area has number of coal mines and coal washing plants, which contaminate the surface water as well as groundwater. Thus, the availability of safe and fresh water is quite limited. It has been noticed that the WSI for this watershed is about 0.60, which is moderate level of sustainability. In order to improve the water sustainability in this watershed, a watershed management framework and its utilizationhas been elaborated.
