Course description

Soil-Water Conservation Engineering and Structures focus on techniques and structures designed to prevent soil erosion, manage water resources, and enhance agricultural productivity. This includes engineering solutions such as contour bunding, check dams, terraces, and water harvesting systems. These conservation measures help in reducing surface runoff, improving groundwater recharge, and ensuring sustainable land use practices.

What will i learn?

• Identify different erosion processes and assess factors contributing to soil erosion in agricultural landscapes.
• Design and analyze soil and water conservation structures and techniques considering site-specific conditions and requirements.
• Evaluate the effectiveness and performance of soil and water conservation structures.
