Survey of Pakistan (GSP) and the United States Agency for
International Development.

    Land Resources

    Land, a critically important national resource, supports all living organisms including plants as well as every primary production system such as roads, industries, communication and storage for surface and ground water,among others. The soil profile of land determines its ability to serve socio-economic needs. It has been estimated that more than 5,000 million tonnes of top soil is eroded annually alongwith about 5 million tonnes of nutrients. About a third of this is lost to the sea, while the rest builds the silt load in reservoirs and river beds leading to floods. About 38% of the area in India suffers from moderate to high degree of water-based erosion, most of which needs suitable soil and water conservation measures such as Watershed Development.…

It is least costly to extract the iron from oxide minerals like hematite (Fe2O3), magnetite (Fe3O4), or limonite [Fe(OH)]. Although iron also occurs in olivines, pyroxenes, amphiboles, and biotite, the concentration of iron in these minerals is less, and cost of extraction is increased because strong bonds between iron, silicon, and oxygen must be broken.…
