General Features Of The Study Area

The major portion of the area is represented by agricultural land. The area generally is a flat terrain traversed by some important meandering rivers. On the eastern side of the study area flows the river Aie in the south east direction. The western boundaries of the study area have major tributaries of the river Brahmaputra. The entire study area is well drained by these rivers and their smaller tributaries - Tunia and Kujia. A few offshoots of the Assam ranges stand out as conspicuous hillocks above the alluvium. Nakkatti, Bhumeshwar and Kakoijana are important hillocks within the 20km radial zone. These hillocks generally range in height from 122m to 212m above mean sea level. A very small part of the study area (less than 5 percent of land) represent the Reserved Forest area. |
