Soil erosion is a serious problem in Rajasthan. The process of soil erosion is performed by the physical factors like water and air. Due to this, the cutting of soil depicts the forms of gully erosion or sheet erosion. About 4 lack hectare of land in Rajasthan is effected by erosion caused by water. The erosion due to water is seen in the drainage areas of the rivers Chambal and its tributaries.
Water – borne soil – erosion is mainly seen in the districts of Kota, Sawai Madhopur and Dholpur. Wind – borne soil erosion is mostly seen in the deserted areas of Western Rajasthan. The dry hot and violently blowing winds have shallowed up thousand of hectares of fertile land of Rajasthan.
