Abstract :
The multispectral and multitemporal Landsat-FCC (1:250000), Indian Remote Sensing Satellite-IA-FCC (1:50000) and aerial photographs (1:25000) of the Gurgaon district are interpreted. The physiographic units identified are (i) Aravally hills (ii) pediments (iii) Sahibi plain (iv) alluvial plain and (v) intermontane basinal complex. The soils of each units are classified according to the USDA system of soil taxonomy and physiography-soil relationships are established. The major soil hazards in relation to agricultural land use are also studied
