When there is a heavy downpour of rain the soil is removed by water flowing along definite paths down the slope in channel. Sheet erosion during heavy rainfall an area where there is no vegetation cover the rainfall instead of sinking stimulates the eroshive power and washes the top soil down the slope. Most of the other than the current fallow lands are either of poor quality or the cost of cultivation of such land is very high.

Forest area in the country is far lower than the desired 33 per cent of geographical area, as it was outlined in the National Forest Policy It was considered essential for maintenance of the ecological balance.
