Types and Distribution of Waste Lands in Swarnamukhi River Basin, Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh

Abstract

The present study, the survey of wasteland in the Swarnamukhi basin, differs, in many respect
from the usual approach adopted in any project study. As already explained it is a novel
experiment. It is not just a study of the problem, which closes with suggestions and
recommendations. It is much more than that. The primary aim of the study is to (1) highlight
the actual problems and prospects indicating findings and giving suggestions, (2) to provide
the basic infrastructure for the wasteland to be developed by the implementing agencies.
