The upper reaches of a watershed usually consist of hilly areas. These areas have an undulating topography and are foci for soil erosion. In areas with steep slopes and subjected to soil erosion vegetation do not get established. Due to lack of vegetative cover soil erosion is accelerated transporting large quantities of silt into the […]
