Rationale:
Soil and Water Conservation engineering is one of the basic subject in the field of Agricultural engineering. Since the main focus of agricultural engineering is production maximization, Soil and water conservation is the major area where these resources are basic and important for Crop Production.
Evil effects of soil erosion should be understood clearly then only the suitable conservation measures may be found out.
Objectives:
- To study history and problems of soil erosion Soil conservatory methods
- To study on factors affecting soil erosion To study development of Gullies
- To study on ravine reclamation and Gully control structures To study on wind erosion and its forms
- To study on Agronomical practice to control erosion To study on water harvesting techniques
- To study on farm ponds, percolation ponds
