Land
Degradation (Land Slides) in Kerala
The objective of the study was to provide a general understanding of
the land slide problem of the State and identify potential landslide
areas. The report of the study conducted in 1996 brought out different
case studies on land slides in the State, land slide occurrence in the
State and categorised the land slide hazard risk zones of the State
spatially at 1:250,000 scale.

Study
of the culturable waste lands, its magnitude and extent
This was a sponsored project of Ministry of Agriculture, Government of
India with the objective to make realistic assessment of the
culturable wastelands of the State in terms of its type, magnitude and
extent and ascertain the reasons for not cultivating the land. The
report of the study presented the extent of distribution of the
classes of culturable wasteland in each district giving factual data
for land use planning at micro-level.
A Watershed Atlas of the forty four river basins of the State on
1:50,000 scale was prepared and published which would cater the needs
of the line departments to have uniformity watershed delineation when
chalking out watershed management and development programmes.
