This paper examines the socio-economic impact of proposed dam on cropland productivity of Mahadayi project, Karnataka, India. Systematic appraisal of dam and their designing by categories of classes on the basis of physical and chemical characteristics of soil has been done in favour of development of agronomic conditions for the study of proposed dam sites in Karnataka. The study is aimed at the effective utilization of land according to their classes.

Thermo-erosion gullies in continuous permafrost regions where ice-wedge polygons are widespread contribute and change the drainage of periglacial landscapes. Gullying processes are causing long-term impacts to the Arctic landscape such as drainage network restructuring, permafrost erosion, sediment transport. Between 2009 and 2013, 35 gullies were mapped in a polygon terrace in the valley of the Glacier C-79 on Bylot Island, Nunavut (Canada), one of which was monitored for its hydrology. A gully (R08p) initiated in 1999 in a low-center polygon terrace.
