Abstract/Description: | SOIL LOSS WAS ESTIMATED FROM 800 POINTS AT 10 KM2 GRID DISTRIBUTED OVER ENTIRE STATE OF WEST BENGAL USING UNIVERSAL SOIL LOSS EQUATION . ESTIMATED AND OBSERVED DATA POINTS WERE TRANSFERRED ON TO 1:250000 SCALE MAP AND EROSION RATES WERE PROCESSED USING SPANS- GIS SYSTEM RECLASSIFYING THE MAP IN SIX SUITABLE SOIL LOSS CLASSES. THE SOIL EROSION RATES OF WEST BENGAL RANGED FROM LESS THAN 5 t/ ha/ yr IN WESTERN PARTS OF CHHOTANAGPUR PLATEAU AND HILLY REGIONS HAVING OPEN FOREST IN DARJEELING , JALPAIGURI AND KOOCH BIHAR. ABUT 10% OF THE AREA OF THE STATE REVEALED SEVERE EROSION (>20 t/ha/yr) NEEDING IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO TREAT THE AREA WITH SOIL CONSERVATION MEASURES ON PRIORITY. |
