IIT-Delhi team develops map on rain-induced erosion

Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi have developed a map to highlight areas that are prone to rain-induced erosion. The map is intended to help in planning, prioritising and implementing essential watershed development activities to minimise soil erosion. Parts of Assam and Meghalaya are among Indian zones prone to the most significant rainfall-induced soil erosion, officials said.
