We have successfully shown use of water transport from Miraj to Latur to meet the demand of water.
We can use the same technique to improve quality of agriculture soil by exchanging top soils in these two regions like transporting coal by wagons.
The area in the range of Karad to Sangli near river bank has heavy black cotton soil which is good for agriculture but has low permeability and causes salt accumulation.Black cotton soil (BC soil) has very low bearing capacity and high swelling and shrinkage characteristics. Due to its peculiar characteristics, it forms a very poor foundation material for road construction Thus for construction of roads and buildings, it has to be removed for firm foundation.
The soil in Marathwada is loamy and sandy. and does not hold water.
Combination of these soils in proper proportion will improve soil properties for sustainable agriculture.However, soil being solid and heavy such mixing has practical difficulties.
If train transport system is used to exchange soils of two regions, it can become a possibility to improve the soils in both regions.
