Q8122. The Utkhat (Badland) topography is an extensive geomorphological feature resulting from severe water erosion. This physiographic feature is the hallmark of which river basin?

Severe gully erosion caused by the river has created a rugged landscape of deep ravines and narrow ridges, particularly in Dholpur, Karauli, and Sawai Madhopur. These ravines, locally known as Dang, make the land unsuitable for regular agriculture but provide a unique, albeit difficult, terrain for regional ecology.
