ABOUT THE BOOK: Soil conservation is using methods to save our soil from erosion or becoming contaminated with chemicals. This ensures we will have soil for planting and helps keep our animal and insect life healthy. Soil erosion can lead to lack of vegetation, and lack of structure in the surface of the ground. Soil conservation is the act of keeping the soil in place and healthy. Several Methods of Soil conservation have been adopted in India. More than 40 million hectares of land in India have been reclaimed from water erosion, wind erosion and gully erosion. Raindrop erosion has been checked by creating grassland cover. Soil and water conservation often go hand in hand, to help maintain the balance needed in the earth for people to live on and thrive. Where erosion is taking place or the soil is becoming contaminated with metals, acids or through overuse it becomes lost. This in turn means that an important source of food, carbon dioxide fighting plants, shade and cover is lost with it. Besides this book will definitely provide guidelines to command area development authorities, soil engineers, teachers PG students and all those who are working in soil and water conservation field.
