MY FIRST POST 
Hello, my dear friends and relatives,
This is my first post about the same resources. I hope you may understand some knowledge about resources and conserving resources and few of my simple ideas of conserving resources. Now let us move onto the ideas.


ALLUVIAL SOIL
So, one of the most widely used soils in India is alluvium.
It is spread over an area of 15  lakh sq.km, across India. It is rich in necessary nutrients like Zinc, Magnesium and phosphorus but is devoid of urea and plant residue. It is most commonly found in the Northern plain region along the River Ganges and covers almost 40% of the land surface in that region. One of the special qualities that add to it's use is that it is well suited for canal and tube well irrigation that helps in cultivating necessary crops like rice, potatoes, wheat which is the staple diet for most of the people in Northern part of India. On the other hand, the main threat to it's quality is deforestation and soil erosion. As known this can be overcome by plant more trees and cultivation using shelter belts. Terracing restricts soil erosion. Himalayas and Western regions have developed terrace farming  which have resulted in high crop yielding.

Here the energy is generated by using a reservoir in a dam. Energy is generated when water passes through the turbines. Pumped Storage Facilities,  the name itself defines that it is utilized for energy storage. They have two reservoirs and the water is pumped from the lower to the upper reservoir and thereby energy is stored. The last and foremost methodology is the Run off Facility.  They rely mostly on the speed of flowing water. A part of the water is diverted to the turbines and this is how the energy is generated. This is the most economical energy generation in India as it doesn't use the dams and the reservoirs. Conditions necessary for building Well, there is no much conditions required for b
