What type of damage did agricultural fields suffer?
There are several types of damage: – Direct crop destruction by uprooting, salt poisoning, flood, etc… – Erosion and scouring that modifies the topography, land levelling and the elimination of bunds (for paddy fields) – Soil fertility losses when upper layer is washed away – Deposition of (saline) sediment – Salt infiltration – Trash and debris accumulation.
