For sophomore/senior-level courses in Soil Conservation and Water Conservation in Agronomy or Soil Science Departments. Written from an agronomic rather than an engineering perspective, this introduction to soil and water conservation text explores a full range of topics and environmental issues, including some ignored or overlooked in other texts on the subject. Comprehensive, up-to-date, and accessible, it considers the hazards posed by erosion, sedimentation, and pollution, and describes the techniques needed to conserve soil and maintain environmental quality. Situations and examples are drawn from many places to represent a cross-section of the soils, climates and cultures of the world, as well as the full scope of agricultural, engineering, mining, and other uses of the land.
