I seek an expert & kind advise regarding my 7 acre land in Punjab which is a mix of sand,earth & small stones because at one course of time for many years it was a river bed or choe but now also during heavy monsoons there are chances of 2 to 3 feet high water flowing thru the land from nearby areas as the land is low lying. The  water however gets cleared in 1 to 2 days from the land. I was now interested for guava plantation in the land. can any gentleman advise me how i can make my land productive & green by growing such trees & crops in between the trees by spending bare minimum amount.I may also add that i want to beautify and make the land attractive too with lot of greenery. It is further added that i have abundant ground water available for irrigation purposes. I request the group to please advise me at the earliest and oblige. I shall be very grateful as I am highly confused.I may further state that the plantation,crops advised should be such so as to be able to successfully withstand the heavy water current(2-3ft) flowing for 1-2 days during peak monsoons.

warm regards
