About the Book

Soil erosion has become a perennial problem in the Upper Damodar Valley. About 33% of the land area of the region is affected by soil erosion. More than 2/3rd of the crop field and upland and 1/3rd of the forest area are under the regime of this malady. The affect of soil erosion directly hampers the soil fertility thus reducing field outturm. It on the other hand indirectly generated hue silt and load which gets deposited in the rivers and reservoirs and gradually lower their water holding capacity. It has been estimated that the beds of the Maithon and Panchet reservoirs have been raised considerably and their live storage capacities have been reduced by 19% and 23% respectively.
