Answer 1

1)
Shifting sand dunes in Bikaner, Barmer, Churu, Jaisalmer and Jhunjhunun districts of Rajasthan cover an approximate area of 74 thousand sq km. Central Arid Zone Research Institute, Jodhpur has suggested mulching them with different plant species. Mulches are put in small squares and serve as an effective physical barrier to the moving sand.
