Project Name : Sand Dune Stabilization
Theme Name : Natural Resource & their Conservation
Objective
1. To promote sand dune stabilization in backward region of Rajasthan.
2. To learn about various process being used for some purpose.
3. To study wind erosion control and reactivation of sand soil through
mixed vegetation
4. To increase the fertility of soil.
Scientific Principle Involved: Unsterilized sand dunes are responsible for adverse effects on communities in desert. They result in poor life quality and harsh environment conditions. ‘Green the Desert’ motto can be fulfilled by increasing soil fertility and by stopping sand erosion.
Material used:
Research papers of various authors
Web and internet research
Rajasthani sand soil
Thermocol, Chart papers, sketch pen, colours, electric motor, power connection
Plants-acacia, tortilis, prosopis, juali flora and phog.
Investigations and findings: The information has been collected by visiting ARID INSTITUTE and CAZARI INSTITUTE JODHPUR.
Plants species has been researched and their suitability investigated. Their samples have been collected.
Utility and Further Scope: This can further result in:
a) Better life quality of desert people.
b) More fodder for animals and Improved soil productivity.
c) Economic Security by selling timber from plants.
d) Commercial currency from medicinal plants such as Cassia, august folia.
e) Green cover on desert decreases temperature and reduces harshness of environment.
