Description Not Available
The Aravalli region in India is very prone to soil erosion and low hydrological regimes.
The present study has been carried out in the Aravalli hill slopes to characterized land
resources, identified soil problems to establish appropriate soil conservation measures in
risk prone areas and appropriate land management practices. The integrated remote
sensing (IRS-P6-LISS-IV and cartosat-1 merged data) and GIS based methodologies were
employed for terrain analysis, identification of slope, landform, land use/land cover
classes, hydro-geomorphology. Detailed soil resource characterization generated soil
depth, texture, drainage condition, soil erosion status, and their related site-specific
problems. The soils of the region are varied as per their physiographic set up. Soils of hill/
hill slopes are very shallow to shallow, excessively drained, gravely sandy loam, very
severely eroded soils while upper piedmont plains are moderately deep to deep, somewhat
excessively drained, loamy sand to sandy loam, moderately eroded while, soils of lower
piedmont plains are deep to very deep, well drained, slightly eroded, sandy loam in texture
and soils of fluvial channels or abandoned channels are moderately deep to deep,
moderately well drained, stratified soils and severely eroded. The site-specific
problems/potentials and thematic information generated were integrated, and suggested
need based soil and water conservation measures such as contour bunding, staggered
contour trenches, mechanical trenches, gully plugging, vegetative bunds, and field bunding
to enhance the hydrological regime of the watershed and to check degradation and restore
the eroded area for management of soil resources for sustainable production for improving
socio-economic condition of the farmers in Aravalli region
