SoilandWaterConservationplan-Introduction

The conservation plan includes three types of treatments: 1) bunding, 2) terracing, 3) trenching. Criteria for selection of treatment types are divided into arable-black soils, arable red and lateritic soils, and non-arable soils. Selection of conservation plan is decided based on land slope, soil depth, texture, gravel, and rainfall. The sequence of activities involved in the selection of different structures and preparation of Soil and Water conservation plan for a given watershed is elaborated in the Implementation Manual for Sujala III project (WDD, 2016)
