Abstract - One of the challenges tackled by human
depending upon the size, drainage, shape and land use pattern. The area we are studied covers 8504 Ha. so it classified under Milli-watershed. It includes three villages namely Akolekati, Darfal & Nannaj. Many parts of India are facing the water scarcity problem. In their areas the water conservation and management is essential activity. Water conservation means the action taken to reduce water use by improving the efficiency of various uses of water. Solapur district is located in drought prone area of Maharashtra, hence this district is facing drought problem every year. Therefore need of water conservation and management is essential in Solapur district.
civilization across the globe is water scarcity. A limited supply of freshwater cannot meet the growing water demand. Factors similar to contamination of groundwater and surface water, irregular distribution of water resources, and recurrent drought triggered by extreme worldwide weather outlines have harshly influenced water scarcity. To respond to increasing groundwater predicament and take benefit of the higher levels of runoff non captured by natural recharge, analysis, and effective management of groundwater by introducing various approaches through non-natural recharge of aquifers has converted extensive in India for the last three to four decades. Mainly this study is carried out for Akolekati, Nanaj & Darfal Village in North Solapur Taluka, District Solapur, Maharashtra, India. By studying various approaches of groundwater recharge, analysis, and development of Watershed for Akolekati, Nanaj & Darfal Village, Maharashtra is carried out. An action plan to focus on adequate water management is developed to address the increasing water demand. Various water conservation structures are recommended by taking average annual rainfall, hydrology, and morphology of area into consideration. In these project we focused on all government Scheme for watershed Management like Drought Prone Areas Programme (DPAP), Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) & others. Total water to be conserved using LBS, Earthen Structure, Earthen Nala Bund, Farm Pond, Check Dam, Nala Deepening, Compartment Buding & Horticulture is calculated in this study. If watershed development methods are executed, it will rise the irrigation possible, which eventually upsurges production of crop, leading to an increase in the economic condition and living standard of individuals of North Solapur, India.
1.1 Objectives of the Study 1. To study the water resources conservation and management projects adopted in Solapur district. 2. To give suggestion and recommendation for water conservation and management.
1.2 Problems facing in that area a) Scarce rainfall and less awareness has caused the drought conditions b) Poverty due to unemployability. c) All people are dependant only on farming. d) Low income levels hence low living standards e) Lack of water supplies in summer season f) Farmers adopting tradition method of irrigation g) Agricultural production in only one season h) The average rainfall is very less i.e. average annual rainfall of 542.2mm. i) he rainfall fluctuation is very high j) Silting of existing water resources like Lake, Wells. k) Insufficient rainwater harvesting structure. l) There is significant slope with intense rains resulting in high degree of erosion

2. METHODOLOGY
1.INTRODUCTION
The methodology adopted for the present area includes the collection of data • By observation and discussion with local people • By personal interviews of the local people. • Through Questionnaires prepared and getting filled them by people.(Annuxure)
Integrated watershed management programme is the strategy adopted in the India for sustainable development of dry land areas and a recent comprehensive assessment of watershed programs in India. Watershed is classified
