The soil erosion by water is a complex process of detaching soil particles and transporting them down slope. Erosion index and precipitation index were calculated which showed a straight line relationship. Soil splashed under plant cover and bare slopes were compared. Various processes of soil erosion and classification, structure, extent and formation of ravines along the banks of river Kshipra and its tributaries have been dealt with.
