For soil conservation, the following steps can mainly be taken: 

1. Increased plantation of trees can stop soil erosion. The roots of plants, grass and shrubs grasp the soil tightly. So more and more trees, grass and shrubs should be planted in green belts. 

2. Dams can be built and large reservoirs can be formed to stop soil erosion. 

3. On the slopes of mountains, terrace farming should be practiced. 

4. The ridges of the land should be made strong. 

5. Over – grazing should be checked to prevent soil erosion. 

6. Contour farming should be practiced on land slopes.

7. Blockades should be made on the drainage so that the overflow of water can be checked, 

8. Check should be imposed on uncontrolled forest cutting. 

9. Restoring the wetlands and leaving the agricultural land less – layered as possible.
