The Uppal Museum of Land, water and power resources of North Western India and adjacent countries was built in 1986 under the leadership of Dr. H.L.Uppal. It provides an opportunity to appreciate our natural resources. The Uppal Museum shows physiographical features of north western India in two different models, i.e. outdoor and indoor models. The Outdoor model is built-up of cement-concrete mixture showing hilly tract of Himalaya and courses of important rivers such as the Ravi, Beas and Sutlej. The Indoor Model is on small scale (1:100,000)depicting a relatively large area about 760,000 sq.km. The model is made perfectly on scale (Vertical as well as horizontal scales) covering several states of north-west India including Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttranchal and parts of Rajasthan and Western Uttar Pradesh. Heights of physical features on the model have been marked to different colors using enamel paints. There is proper lighting arrangement (florescent tubes, floodlight, neon light) for depicting the different features of the model. The museum has been built up with a view to demonstrate the physiographical diversity and available land and water resources of North West India so that these resources can be exploted and managed with proper planning. The Museum acts as tool to students, researchers, and planners to understand the potential and limitation of our natural resources.

The problem of soil erosion in Kandi belt of Punjab and different steps of reclamation technique of salt affected soils are presented in painting and models. Exhibits relating to water quality and soil fertility management with emphasis on role of soil and water testing, judicious use of fertilizers and symptoms of nutrient deficiency are also displayed. The museum serves as a tool for teaching and research in the field of soil and water conservation, fertility management and soil resource inventory. Young farmers, Officials from State Agriculture Department and students from other State Agriculture University often visit to the museum for updating their knowledge
