Trenching is the most efficient practice for restoration of degraded non-arable
lands. Government and various agencies put tremendous efforts and spend lot of
money in the rehabilitation of degraded lands by carrying out trenching. Design
and layout of trenches under different rainfall conditions involve lot of
computation based on watershed information to derive maximum benefit of the
technology. However, in the absence of clear guidelines for computation of trench
specifications (spacing, cross section and density), desirable results are not
achieved from this intervention. Under field conditions wide fluctuations in trench
specifications are observed in different regions of the country, due to highly
diverse land forms and climatic conditions. A Decision Support System is
designed to bridge the knowledge gap between experts and actual field level
implementers by helping the user to make decisions for the design and layout of
Continuous Contour Trenches (CCT) and Staggered Contour Trenches (SCT)
under varied land forms and climatic conditions. The DSS will be of immense
importance and of practical use for persons working in State government agencies,
NGOs and Forest Departments implementing watershed development
programmes.
