Abstract
A systematic air-photo-interpretation procedure employing physiographic analysis has been used in preparing a quick inventory of the problem areas of parts of Hoshiarpur district of Punjab.
The inventory has been prepared in respect of two selected areas viz. Hoshiarpur and Nangal on the basis of the study of photo-mosaic of Hoshiarpur district.
The soil conservation needs of the predominant problem land units of both the areas are indicated.
