Description - Fundamentals of Soil and Water Conservation Engineering by S K Gupta
The textbook titled 'Fundamentals of Soil and Water Conservation Engineering' broadly covers and illustrates basic concepts of soil and water engineering taught to the students of B.Sc. (Agriculture) Honours. Considering the emerging challenges, the scope of the book has been widened to include few chapters that may find place in any future revision of the courses by the Dean's committee. Besides, inclusion of these chapters makes this book a handy guidebook to the students of agricultural engineering. It covers most issues of interest for the students in an easy to understand manner. The textbook has a total of 32 Chapters, divided into four sections. The book begins with a section on Engineering Survey having 10 chapters. Farm development is grouped into five chapters and includes issues such as land levelling, groundwater and pumps, open and underground conveyance systems and farm drainage. The third section on irrigation water management is divided into 6 chapters. The section on soil and water conservation engineering is the largest section divided in 11 chapters. This section can serve as an independent textbook in several universities that have made soil and water conservation engineering a separate one semester course. Objective type questions, glossary of terms and subject index are included. Besides serving as a text book, it will prove to be a handy resource book to conduct specialized training programs on soil and water management. This book will find its due place in the shelves of students and teachers, field functionaries and college libraries of state agricultural universities, deemed universities and engineering colleges.
