The methods available for gully control are – (1) Diversion of runoff, (2) Vegetative methods, (3) Construction of temporary structures, and (4) Construction of permanent structures. (1) Diversion of Runoff: Diversion of runoff is achieved by constructing diversion drains. The diversion drain is a shallow channel put across the slope above the gully. The design […]

How to Measure Soil Moisture: Top 3 Methods
Measurement of soil moisture is necessary in several soil and hydrological investigations. Soil moisture measurements are needed for scheduling irrigations, in experimental studies on crop water requirements and evaluating surface irrigation systems. Soil moisture measurements are also needed in areas of less rainfall for evaluating different moisture conservation practices. There are many methods available for […]
