The main soil conservation problem of BTC
are sheet, rill and gully erosion, stream/river
bank erosion, carrying silt, salt and other
debris to the cultivable land, river beds,
ponds, reservoirs, cannels etc. Due to deposition
of this debris in the riverbed water carrying
capacity of the rivers/nalas is decreased
and thereby during rainy season floods occur.
Due to destruction of vegetative cover,
the soil is expose to various forms of erosion
and water percolation does not take place
and water is lost as run off during rainy
season and caused draught in summer.
