Not AvailableTHE PAPER BRINGS OUT THE VARIABLE RATE OF SOIL LOSS UNDER DIFFERENT RESOURCE REGIONS, BASED ON THE RESULTS OBTAINED AT CSWCRTI , DEHRADUN AND ITS RESEARCH CENTRES. SPECIFIC PACKAGES OF PRACTICES HAVE BEEN PROPOSED FOR HILL , RAVINE AND BLACK SOILS REGIONS. THE PACKAGES INCLUDE VARIOUS COMBINATIONS OF TREATMENTS COVERING SOIL MANAGEMENT, AGRONOMIC AND BIOLOGICAL MEASURES, ENGINEERING STRUCTURES , HYDROLOGICAL AND SEDIMENTATION DETAILS FOR CULTIVATED AREAS, FORESTS GRASSLANDS , TORRENTS LANDSLIDES ETC . THE PAPER ALSO DEALS WITH THE WATERSHED APPROACH , TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER, INVOLVEMENT OF PEOPLE AND TRAINING OF PERSONNEL. WHILE GIVING SOME OF THE ECONOMIC ANALYSES JUSTIFYING FORMULATION OF THE PROGRAMMES AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SAME ON WATERSHED BASIS, RESEARCH GAPS HAVE ALSO BEEN IDENTIFIED.Not Availabl

Not AvailableMECHANICAL MEASURES ARE IMPORTANT OF SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAMME IN ANY WATERSHED . MECHANICAL PRACTICES ARE NOT ALTERNATIVES TO AGRONOMIC PRACTICES BUT ARE COMPLIMENTARY TO EACH OTHER, ALTHOUGH EACH SERVES A SEPARATE PURPOSE . RESEARCH EXPERIENCE , WITHIN THE COUNTRY, HAS SHOWN THAT AN INTEGRATED PACKAGE OF PRACTICES SUCH AS CONTOUR , TILLAGE , MECHANICAL MEASURES, CONSERVATION AGRONOMICAL PRACTICES NOT ONLY REDUCE THE SOIL EROSION LOSSES BUT ALSO IMPROVE THE CROP YIELDS.Not Availabl

Not AvailableIN A RECENT ANALYSIS OF THE ANNUAL SOIL EROSION RATES IN INDIA, IT WAS ESTIMATED THAT ABOUT 5333 M T (16.35 T/HA) OF SOIL DETACHED ANNUALLY AND OF THIS , ABOUT 29% IS CARRIED AWAY BY THE RIVERS INTO THE SEA. NEARLY 10% OF ITS IS BEING DEPOSITED IN SURFACE RESERVOIRS , RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF 1% TO 2% OF THE STORAGE CAPACITY. THE MOST SERIOUS SOIL EROSION PROBLEM IN THE COUNTRY IS IN THE FORM OF SHEET EROSION, A SERIOUS CONSTRAINT ON RED SOILS, IN AN AREA OF 69 M HA. THE LATERITE SOIL AND THE BALCK SOILS OCCUPYING NEARLY 67 M HA. OTHER ERODED AREAS ARE THE GULLIED LANDS ALONG THE BANKS OF THE YAMUNA , CHAMBAL , MAHI AND OTHER RIVERS IN NEARLY 4 M HA , THE HIMALAYAN AND LOWER HIMALAYAN REGIONS AND THE SHIFTING CULTIVATED AREAS OF THE NORTH- EAST. TO TACKLE THESE PROBLEMS EFFECTIVELY, VARIOUS SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES WITH AN EMPHASIS ON INTEGRATED LANDUSE PLANNING ON WATERSHED BASIS, HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED IN THE PAPER.Not Availabl

Not AvailableTHE RATE OF SEDIMENTATION IN RESERVOIRS DEPENDS ON THE ANNUAL SEDIMENT LOADS BROUGHT BY A RIVER FROM ITS CATCHMENT. THE RATE OF SEDIMENT DEPOSITION IN THE RESERVOIRS CAN BE DECREASED ONLY WHEN PROPER SOIL CONSERVATION MEASURES ARE TAKEN UP IN THEIR CATCHMENTS . IN THIS PAPER, AN ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO COMPUTE THE TOTAL EROSION OF SOIL TAKING PLACE IN OUR COUNTRY ON THE BASIS OF VARIOUS SOIL LOSS STUDIES FROM DIFFERENT LAND UNITS AND LAND USES , RESERVOIR SEDIMENTATION DATA AND RIVER DISCHARGES. SOME OF THE PROVEN SOIL CONSERVATION PRACTICES ARE ALSO INDICATED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMNot Availabl

Not AvailableDESCRIBES SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION TECHNOLOGY FOR AGRICULTURAL LANDS AS WELL AS NON- AGRICULTURAL LANDS IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF INDIA. UNDER THE MECHANICAL MEASURES , CONSTRUCTION OF VARIOUS CONSERVATION STRUCTURES SUCH AS CONTOUR BUNDS, BENCH TERRACES , CONSERVATION DITCHES , FARM AND VILLAGE PONDS FOR COLLECTION OF RAIN WATER AND OTHER STRUCTURES HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED. FOR NON- AGRICULTURAL AND DEGRADED LANDS, BIOLOGICAL MEASURES LIKE AGRO- FORESTRY, TREE PLANTATIONS , AGRI- HORTI, SGRI- SILVICULTURE , AGROSTOLOGY ETC. FOR PRODUCTION OF FOOD , FODDER AND FUEL HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED.Not Availabl
