In this article we will discuss about the mechanics of stream bank failure and its control. The flow of water in the stream generates shear stress on the bed and banks, both, as a result the bank gets retreated in following two ways: i. Materials get eroded directly from the bank and carried downstream by […]

How to Manage Problem Soils?
Article shared by :
Problem soils possess undesirable physical properties like infiltration, water holding capacity, structure, texture, hydraulic conductivity and bulk density. These soils have soluble salts like chlorides and sulphates of Ca and Mg and Na in higher concentration. This leads to improper growth and development of crops resulting in low yield of crops. The soils possessing various […]
