Download or read book Semiarid Soil and Water Conservation written by Finkel and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, the erosion and conservation measures discussed are, for the most part, those under unirrigated agriculture. The use of irrigation could cause significant changes in the growing seasons, and in the agricultural calendar, especially in the warmer climates where temperature is not a limiting factor. It is further noted that much of the material in this volume has been prepared with the developing countries of the so-called Third World in mind. In many of these countries there is a dearth of basic data, such as long-term hydrological records, detailed soil and topographic surveys, and experimental results for various types of erosion control measures. Some design procedures cannot be imitated or copied directly from those of the technologically more advanced countries. Consequently, emphasis will be placed, wherever possible, upon simple empirical methods of design, and approximate solutions within the limitations of the available data, technical possibilities, and financial resources of the Third World countries. Much of the numerical data and calculations will be presented in the metric system.
Download or read book Soil and Water Conservation Policies and Programs written by Ted L. Napier and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-11-24 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For as far into the future as we can see, governments will probably topple, power will continue to exchange hands, the climate will undergo continuous change, and the global economy will ebb and flow like the oceans. But for the world's many diverse countries-whether they be highly industrialized or third world-one thing will always remain constant: the need to solve the planet's pressing soil and water conservation problems, as well as implement effective policies. But why do some policy initiatives succeed while others fail? Soil and Water Conservation Policies and Programs: Successes and Failures addresses this very question. Based on an international conference held in Prague, this book debates the strengths and weaknesses of soil and water conservation initiatives implemented in North America, Europe, and Australia. Soil and water conservation policies in the United States, Canada, Germany, Austria, Yugoslavia, and other countries are examined through the eyes of technical and soil scientists. And the book also addresses specialized topics, such as agricultural pollution abatement in Poland, and private farmers and contemporary conservation subsidy programs in the Czech Republic. With its thorough treatment of the subject matter, Soil and Water Conservation Policies and Programs: Successes and Failures contributes to resolving one of the world's most pressing conservation issues.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil and Water Conservation in Many Countries In the vast Hunter of Australia, contour furrowing aids in reclaiming sheet-eroded undulating grazing land. It is a favorite practice in most parts of the continent where grass is so important and soil moisture so necessary to grow the grass. Egyptian farmers (right) crowd through a narrow passage way to study an exhibit showing conservation treatment of land around a de tention reservoir designed to control flooding and to store water for crops.

Download or read book The Political Economy of Soil Erosion in Developing Countries written by Piers Blaikie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985. This book examines wide variety of ways in which environmental deterioration, in particular soil erosion, can be viewed and the implicit political judgements that often inform them. Using the context of developing countries, where the effects tend to be more acute due to underdevelopment and climatic factors, this work aims to examine this source of uncertainty and make explicit the underlying assumptions in the debate about soil erosion. It also rejects the notion that soil erosion is a politically neutral issue and argues that conservation requires fundamental social change. This title will be of interest to students of environmental and developmental studies.
