The seasonal torrents that originate in the Shiwalik hills and cause severe soil erosion in northern Haryana are locally known by which term?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Choes are seasonal streams or torrents that originate in the Shiwalik hills and rush down during the monsoon season, causing widespread soil erosion and gully formation in districts like Ambala, Yamunanagar, and Panchkula. Bhabar denotes the porous gravel belt at the foothills, and Duns are longitudinal valleys found between the Shiwaliks and Lesser Himalayas. Soil conservation in these tracts involves extensive check-dam construction.
