Abstract
ABSTRACT “Nadis” which serve as principal drinking water sources in the Indian Arid Zone are subjected to heavy sedimentation due to erratic and torrential rainfall in sandy and eroded rocky basins. Sediment yield increases with increasing rainfall and drainage basin slope and its magnitude depends upon the physiography and lithology of the region. Sediment yield can be reduced by promoting vegetation growth in the drainage basins and by constructing silt traps.
