3.3.1 Land degradation due to waste water irrigation
The purchaser established a Degree and PG college. The establishment
blocked runoff water flow and drained all its sewage in the gully at its
downstream, which was running through the research farm. The gully had
become part of several research works such as farm pond with earthen
dam, soil and water conservation structures and experimental plots of
ecological studies, which produced international research articles. The
research progress made installation of three deep bore wells for
carrying out agricultural research studies on the farm. Thus such
undesirable features must be happening in under the upper reach of
developed riparian areas
The sewage water filled in the farm pond established in gully and
spoiled all farm roads making farm road non usable. The deep tube wells
dried down, making no cultivation of experimental as well as other part
of farm land. Thus, entire asset created in almost four decades got
vanished and national prestigious facility reached to condition of
abandoning. The water qualities of the riparian areas were already
spoiled, for which alternative innovative measure as displayed in Fig 2
was innovated.
