Landforms and Physiography

The land in Pililla can be classified into various landforms (e.g., broad alluvial plain, minor alluvial plain, foot slope piedmont), and its physiography (e.g., lacustrine plain, interhill mini-plain, inter-mountain valley, collu-alluvial fan) into discrete units based on slope, soil depth, drainage, inherent fertility, flooding class, erosion class, and elevation. Table 2.3 and Figure 2.2 presents the Land Management Unit distribution in Pililla.
