Soil and Water Engineering: At a Glance

Contents: 1. Common Terminologies. 2. Determination of Basic Hydro-Edaphic Parameters. 3. Important Formulae. Bibliography

Information on the terminologies related to two important natural resources, viz., soil and water is always a matter of excitement not only among the students, teachers and researchers but also among the people from all walks of life. Arranging all the terminologies and narration of their practical importance is always a cumbersome job. This book is a synoptic representation of more than 1200 terms associated with soil and water. Around 1,000 common terminologies used in soil and water are discussed elusively. It also includes determination of some important basic hydro-edaphic parameters and important formulae related to soil and water conservation for ready reference.

Efforts have been made to describe all these words in a lucid way so that this manuscript enjoys a special status among its readers. This book has been specially designed for the students of B.Sc., M. Sc. course of Agronomy, Soil science, Forestry, Soil and water conservation, Water management, B. Tech (Agricultural Engineering) and M. Tech programme of Soil and Water Conservation Engineering, Water Resource Engineering etc. It is a good reference material for Ph. D students of various major, minor and supportive disciplines of irrigation and soil and water conservation in agriculture. This book is designed to meet the requirements of students, teachers, researchers and field functionaries. This book can be a handy reference material for the students preparing for JRF, ARS, NET and other public service examinations.
