Control soil erosion by planting indigenous trees

Our soil is our life giver. As we enter the monsoon season, soil erosion becomes a matter of grave worry for all, especially for people and livestock near hilly areas and river banks. If there is a loss in the fertile top soil, the productive capacity of the land gets compromised which in turn poses a huge risk to our food security. Some of the human-induced factors of soil erosion are felling of trees with deep roots to clear space for construction, deforestation, loss of vegetation, rapid urbanisation, etc.

Even though soil erosion is a natural phenomenon, we can reduce its impact by planting more trees and bushes which are good in holding the soil together, planting grass and creepers in and around farmlands and riverbanks, spreading mulch on bare grounds, building embankments, etc.

Share with MyGov Assam your take on how soil erosion can be minimised by plantation of indigenous trees along the riverbanks and hilly areas. You may also share any success story in this regard along with relevant photographs/videos.

More and more barren land should be made a green land, especially beside rivers,e.g., in the district Dhemaji, so as to save the areas from soil erosion owing to sudden floods and loss of human life, and that of livestock, too! Along with that home and farmland. The Ministry of Forest and Environment need to act on such development plans in the long run.

भारत के प्रत्येक नागरिक को साल में एक पेड़ लगाना चाहिए और उसका सेवा करना चाहिए।

धरती पर वृक्षारोपण मिट्टी के कटाव को कम करने के अलावा दूषित पर्यावरण को शुद्ध करने में भी सहायक है। वृक्षारोपण ग्लोबल वार्मिंग के खतरे को भी कम करने में सक्षम हैं ‌।

First of all, the main solution for this is to say no to plastic. Then develop our environment
Plan more eco friendly activities
Use rain water in a systematic manner and take the remedies for it
Have to use all things which aren't anti-environmental.
Dont support this upcoming Industrial revolution
Have ti make practice of farmyard manure in farming and fields.Have to use Earthworms fertiliser instead of chemical fertilizers.
