[Soil And Water Conservation Engineering Rsuresh Book Free 16
Ainoha Sistek
The course deals with the engineering principles involved in soil and water conservation. It includes the classification of the water erosion, and the agronomical and engineering measures adopted for erosion control. The design of bunds and terraces are dealt in detail, followed by gully control measures. The wind erosion and measures to control it, e.g., the windbreaks and shelterbelt, are also included. Many examples and problems are included to emphasize the design principles and to facilitate an understanding of the subject matter. Computer models will be described where applicable.
This document provides an overview of the course "Soil-water-plant relationship and application in agricultural engineering projects" taught by Dr. J.K. Adewumi at the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (UNAAB) in Nigeria. The course covers topics such as soil conservation principles, types and forms of soil erosion, erosion control methods, irrigation and drainage, and the universal soil loss equation. It also discusses factors that influence water and wind erosion, erosion measurement techniques, and wind erosion control methods. The course is compulsory for agriculture engineering students who must maintain minimum 75% attendance to be eligible to take the final exam.Read less
