(2) Scarcity tract of Decan : Here the annual rainfall is below 30" per year. (3) Area of adequate rainfall: Parts of Eastern Maharashtra where rainfall is between 40" to 50" per year. Thus, the State has to adopt various ways ad means to effectively conserve soil and moisture. In the heavy rainfall region main problem is skilful removal of -excessive run- -off at non-erosive velocity.
