The Beauty of water

The Destructive role of water Sir C.V.Raman talks about the other side of water (C.V.Raman talks about the destructive side/role of water). Heavy rains cause soil erosion. The top fertile layer of the soil is washed away by water. As a result, the land becomes unfertile and unfit for agriculture. He says that soil erosion is a massive (very big/huge) problem in India. He also gives solutions for soil erosion. He says that soil erosion can be prevented by planting trees. Sir C.V.Raman also talks about the problem of seasonal rainfall in India. In India, agriculture is purely dependant on the seasonal rainfall. Agriculture will be affected if the rain fails or if there is too much rain. He gives solutions for the problem of seasonal rainfall.He suggests that dams should be constructed to store rain water and use it later on. He also says that rivers should be inter-linked (inter-connected).
