Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is designed as a text for undergraduate soil and water engineering courses and as preliminary reading for postgraduate courses in soil and water engineering. It is hoped that it will also be of value to specialists, experts and engineers already in the field and to students preparing for the M.Sc. and PhD examinations. The texts and exercises are based on my lecture courses to undergraduate water science engineers augmented by material prepared for extramural short courses. Wherever possible, illustrations have been used to clarify the texts. The purpose of this book is to bring together and integrate in a single text the subject matter that deals with soil and water engineering. The book is divided into 24 chapters and is intended for students, researchers, and professionals working on various aspects of soil and water engineering. Various soil and water subjects have been discussed in the chapters"--

This book was released on 2010 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have agricultural management efforts begun in the desperation of the Dust Bowl brought us to where we need to be tomorrow? Questions about the environmental footprint of farming make this book required reading. Approximately 62% of the total U.S. land area is used for agriculture, and this land also provides critical ecosystem functions. Authors from each region of the continental United States describe the progress of soil and water conservation to date and visualize how agricultural production practices must change in future years to address the newest challenges.

Book excerpt: prime requirement for successfully irrigated agriculture is the development and maintenance of a soil zone in which the moisture-oxygen-salt balance is favorable for plant growth. Plants require both moisture and oxygen to live. When a saline water table rises and remains in the root zone longer than about 48 hours, resulting in an abnormally high saline moisture condition, agricultural production is usually seriously affected. The presence of oxygen in the interstices of the soil1 in the root zone is as necessary as water for both seed germination and plant growth The oxygen content of soil is governed by the rate of diffusion of oxygen through the soil pores. Also, the oxygen content is markedly affected by the moisture content of a soil. Soils with initially low moisture content normally have relatively open pore structures between soil particles, allowing oxygen to freely permeate through the interstices.A s the moisture contenti ncreasesw, ater displacest he air in the pores, thus forcing the air upward and into the atmosphere.O nce the oxygen is expelled, the oxygen content recovery rate is extremely slow in a soil that is in transition ' from a moist or wet state to a drier state. This slow recovery is caused by the inherently slow rate of diffusion of gases through such soils and the phenomenon of capillary stresses which develop in soils when the water content does not completely fill the voids. The proper balance between soil moisture and oxygen is maintained to a considerable extent by adequate drainage.

Book excerpt: Water Gold Soil: The American River tells the story of a single flow of water in present-day California from origin to end use. Beginning at the river's headwaters in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the book follows the water through pipes and dams, past Sutter's Mill and the birthplace of the Gold Rush, to the corporate agricultural fields until it eventually disappears into the ground, finding veins in the soil. Including a short essay by Elizabeth Kolbert, the book brings together a series of narrative text, photographs, and archival images that represent the history of extraction in California and testify to the social and ecological consequences of watershed colonialism.

Book excerpt: Natural ecosystems provide the basic conditions without which humanity could not survive. Goods and services provided by ecosystems include, for example, provisions of food, fibre and fuel, purification of water and air, cultural and aesthetic benefits, stabilization and moderation of the Earth's climate, generation and renewal of soil fertility, including nutrient cycling or maintenance of genetic resources as key inputs to crop varieties and livestock breeds, medicines, and other products. However, the ability of natural ecosystems to continue performing these services is seriously threatened since the diversity of plant species and soil are being seriously deteriorated and, in some cases, destroyed. Various studies worldwide have shown that soils do not support intensive annual plant cultivation without fertilizer applications, and even these may not maintain sustainability. Inappropriate silvicultural operations (or the use of land for intensive agricultural purposes) is one of the main causes of soil degradation, and there is therefore worldwide interest in quantifying the loss of soil quality generated by incorrect agricultural operations or forest management practices. This can only happen if people have the right information, skills, and organizations for understanding and dealing with soil and plant diversity issues. The book shows different studies and research works on the topic of soil management, such us soil degradation, microbiological soil properties, bio-fertilizer soil applications, water dynamics in soil profile, soil erosion and sustainability of soils among others. Transferring information and knowledge within the society is crucial for fighting soil management and soil deterioration. In addition, promoting the sustainable use of soil quality will be of growing importance for maintaining society and biodiversity in the years and decades to come.
