Synopsis

Watershed management is important for sustainable development. But now because of lack of education, faulty practices and other uncertain factors, watersheds are deteriorating and that needs to be checked. Already, lots of government/non-government projects and are going on in that direction. Serious games or educational games are also being used as a tool to teach watershed conservation. This paper brings out the importance of serious games in the enriching of watershed conservation activities. How these games can solve various issues regarding watershed management and can bring about coherence in authorities and stakeholders to work together. In this paper, we will evaluate a few games about how they help to enhance knowledge among individuals, teach them good practices about watershed conservation and refrain them from using their ongoing wrong practices that have the potential to harm them and their surroundings in the long term.
