| 1 | Man-nature conflict, to meet the un-satiating demands of land and other natural resources like fuel wood, fodder, etc., has resulted in overexploitation of the limited natural resources. Encroachment of forests and pasture lands and faulty agricultural practices have further aggravated the problem of land degradation and soil erosion. Heavy soil erosion from the degraded patches of the catchment, results in sedimentation of the reservoir, thereby reducing its storage capacity and impeding the life span of a river valley project. In order to address soil erosion, proper soil and water conservation measures are required to be implemented as a part of Catchment Area Treatment (CAT) strategy. This standard focuses on checking the soil erosion at the source, addressing the landslide hazards in the direct impact zone of a project, checking the sediment load from the tributaries directly discharging into the reservoir, and protecting the directly draining catchment from scouring and slips. | |
