Soil erosion is a major problem in India caused by various natural and human factors. The key causes are heavy rainfall, deforestation, overgrazing, and poor agricultural practices. This strips away topsoil, especially on steep slopes. Regions highly impacted include Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and the Himalayan foothills. To control erosion, methods such as terracing, contour plowing, afforestation, and constructing dams have been used. Preventing further environmental degradation and switching to sustainable farming techniques are important to reduce soil loss.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Overview on Edible Vaccine: Pros & Cons with Mechanism
Soil erosion2
1.
2. SOIL EROSION
Soil erosion is the main problem of our country . It is on
the increase in recent years
Main reasons :
Running water
overgrazing
faulty methods of agriculture
Over irrigation
Wind
Men, plants and animals
3. Soil erosion happens when particles of soil come loose
and are carried away by water or the wind. When it rains
so much that the water cannot seep into the soil fast
enough, the extra water flows down the slope, carrying
soil particles with it. Many agricultural soils are easily
eroded. The erosion problem is likely to be more severe
on certain types of soils, on steep slopes, where there is
intense rainfall, and where the vegetation is removed
Indirectly soil erosion helps in the soil forming because
from wherever the soil is removed it is deposited
elsewhere.
4. However it disturbs the
agricultural pattern and
should be prevented.
There are several ways
in which soil erosion
takes place due to
running water.
Sheet erosion
Gully erosion
Rill erosion
Leaching
Sea or shore erosion
Stream bank erosion
5. SHEET EROSION
Sheet erosion Occurs when thin layers of the topsoil are
moved by the force of the runoff water, leaving the surface
uniformly eroded Sheet erosion Occurs when thin layers of
the topsoil are moved by the force of the runoff water, leaving
the surface uniformly eroded
8. GULLY EROSION
Unlike rill erosion, gullies are too deep to be removed during normal
cultivation with ordinary farm implements. They are formed from small
depressions, which concentrate water and enlarge until several join to
form a channel. The gully then widens as the side-walls are worn back.
9.
10. Sea or Shore erosion
•Tidal waters of sea cause considerable damage to the soil along
the sea coast.
• Powerful waves dash against sea-coast and break hanging cliff
rocks.
• Broken material is then removed by the retreating sea waves.
* This type of erosion is seen throughout the eastern and western
coasts of India.
11.

14. STREAM BANK EROSION:
Stream bank erosion is common along rivers, streams and drains
where banks have been eroded, sloughed or undercut. However , it is
important to remember that a stream is a dynamic and constantly
changing system.
Generally, stream bank erosion becomes a problem where
development has limited the meandering nature of streams, where
streams have been channelized, or where stream bank structures (like
bridges, culverts, etc.) are located in places where they can actually
cause damage to downstream areas.
15.
16. •Stabilizing these areas can help protect
watercourses from continued
sedimentation, damage to adjacent land
uses, control unwanted meander, and
improvement of habitat for fish and
wildlife.
•Streams and rivers change their courses
by cutting one bank and depositing the
silt on the others.
•During flash floods, the damage is much
acclerated.
•Prevalent in the flood plains of
Ganga, Yamuna, and other rivers.
As a result, large areas of agricultural
land in the states of U.P., Rajasthan, M.P.
have been transformed into ravines.
17. WIND:
Soil erosion by wind on extensive flat lands which
are subject to windy dry season for part of the year.
The upper soil surface becomes loose and
susceptible to wind erosion due to lack of moisture.
Overgrazing:
Due to overgrazing, wind erosion occurs as the soil
devoid of vegetation is directly exposed to the wind.
Faulty methods of agriculture:
i)Shifting agriculture as in Northeast India
ii)Lack of crop rotation
iii)Wrong ploughing
18. LEACHING
In agriculture, leaching may refer to the loss of water-
soluble plant nutrients from the soil, due
to rainand irrigation. Soil structure, crop planning, type
and application rates of fertilizers, and other factors are
taken into account to avoid excessive nutrient loss.
Leaching may also refer to the practice of applying a
small amount of excess irrigation where th e water has a
high salt content to avoid salts from building up in the
soil (salinity control). Where this is
practiced,drainage must also usually be employed, to
carry away the excess water.
19. Leaching is an environmental concern when it contributes
to groundwatercontamination. As water from rain,flooding, or other sources
seeps into the ground, it can dissolve chemicals and carry them into the
underground water supply. Of particular concern are hazardous
waste dumps andlandfills, and, in agriculture, excess fertilizer and
improperly stored animal manure.
20. SHEET EROSION: Removal of thin layer of soil from a
large area. In sheet erosion a thin layer of soil is removed
from a large area.
RILL EROSION: A series of small channels on a slope
carved by running water.
GULLY EROSION: Large, wide channels carved by
running water. As a rule of thumb, a gully is large enough
that it cannot be smoothed out with conventional tillage
equipment.
SPLASH EROSION: Splash erosion where the soil is
pulverised by the impact of heavy drops and hailstones
as in case of convectional rainfall.
21. SOIL EROSION DUE TO HUMAN
FACTOR:
Loss of forest cover – annual rate- about 47,500 hectares
Leads to sheet erosion on hilly slopes because water instead
of sinking into the ground washes the soil down.
In the second stage, in the absence of vegetation cover and
washing off of the absorbent top soil, rills begin to appear on
the landscape
In the third stage, the water run off during heavy rains may
develop deep grooves causing Gully erosion.
22. The Outer Himalayas, the Western & Eastern Ghats
are subjected to deforestation by man.
These areas receive heavy rainfalls. Removal vegetation
cover for different land use like railway
lines, roads, buildings, or even agriculture has caused
Sheet, Rill or Gully erosion
Shifting cultivation – heavy rains wash away the bare soil
from the slopes to the valleys below.
Uncontrolled gazing of domestic animals in the valleys
and the upper slopes.
24. Wind erosion refers to the movement and deposition of
soil particles by wind . It occurs when soil devoid of
vegetation is exposed to high velocity wind.
Wind moves soil particles 0.1 – 0.5 mm in size in
bouncing or hopping fashion and those greater than 0.5
by rolling. The former is known as saltation and the latter
as soil creep. The particles less than 0.1mm or the fines
particles detach into suspension.
Infact wind erosion is most visible in the suspension
stage, as dust storms or subsequently as deposition
along fence lines and across roads.
25. CAUSES OF SOIL EROSION IN INDIA
1) Heavy population pressure on land: - forest cover as
low as 20.55% of total area – population continues to
rise at a rapid rate – more forests are destroyed –
heavy pressure on land.
2) Nature of Rainfall:- receives 80 to 90 per cent of rainfall
in the monsoon season. – heavy downpour during
during monsoon months causes floods. - remaining
months – droughts – these affect soils
3)Overgrazing – number of domestic animals, esp
cattle highest in world – cattle freely graze in open
lands making them bare of vegetation-winds carry away
dry soil particles - Rajasthan
26. 4) Bad farming techniques – plough fields in traditional
ways – small size of holdings, absence of
terracing, contour cultivation, crop rotation, improper
use of manure have caused erosion.
5) Topography – North –Eastern parts of India, Shiwaliks
and the hilly regions in south India are affected by soil
erosion because of steep slopes and heavy rainfall.
During heavy rainfall, soils are washed away by running
water down the slope.
6) Deforestation: destruction of forests for cultivation –
cutting of trees exposes the soil to water and wind
which leads to soil erosion.
27. REGIONS OF SOIL EROSION
Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, UP, Gujarat,
andhra Pradesh, Karnataka. Worst affected areas
include:
The badlands of Chambal and Yamuna rivers
The piedmont zone of the western Himalayas
The Chotanagpur plateau region
The Tapi-Sabarmati valley region in Gujarat
The regur soil area of Maharashtra
The dry areas of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Haryana
28. EFFECTS OF SOIL EROSION:
Loss of fertile top soil Lowering of the underground water
table and decreasing soil moisture
Drying of vegetation and extension of arid lands, increase
in the frequency of droughts and floods
Silting of river and canal beds, Recurrence of
landslides, adverse effect on economic prosperity and
cultural development.
Wind erosion reduces the productive capacity of soil, as
most of the nutrients required by the plants are carried by
the wind.
31. 2.Contour Ploughing:
Ploughing along contourson a slope prevents soil being washed
away by rainwater or by surface run off. Contours act like bunds.
Terraces are levelled into step like small fields with even slope.
32. 3)Afforestation: planting of trees along the edges of the fields, the
waste land and on steepy slopes to prevent soil erosion as wellas to
enahnce the capacity of the soil to retain water. increase area under
forests and indiscriminate felling of trees must stop.
33. 4) Shelter Belts: Farmers plant trees in several rows to
check wind erosion. Known as wind breaks.
5) Strip cropping: Crops are grown in alternate strips of
land to check the impact of the winds.
6) Construction of dams: Rivers cause soil erosion.
Dams are built in the upper course of rivers to
control erosion of soil. This would check the speed
of water and thereby save soil from erosion
34. 7) Ploughing Gullies:The gullies made in the soil are
plugged with deposition of silt during heavy rains.
8) Shifting or Jhuming or slash and burn type of
agriculture should be banned.
