The Problem Of Soil Erosion A Grave Menace PDF Download

Excerpt from Soil Erosion a National Menace There are no terraces in this region; the farmers do not even know what they are. Erosion is gathering momentum. As the more absorptive topsoil is washed off down to the less absorptive subsoil, the rate of wastage increases. So, this region, which has already suffered seriously from rainwash, is really just upon the threshold of the most impoverishing kind of erosional wastage, and nothing is being done to conserve these splendid agricultural lands, the capital of the farmers living on them and a Vital heritage to posterity.
