About the Book
Watershed has become the pivotal point and plays a prominent role for soil and land development works. There is tremendous gap in availability of literature on Watershed related works.
The present book is a practical guide to all personnel working on watershed, at different levels. The contents not only encompass, whether it is related to Watershed characterization, Watershed requirements, land development livestock development, organic farming systems, silvipastoral approach, renewable energy sources and homestead farming systems but also development of people in the watershed. The whole of gamut of watershed is available in this book. Everybody engaged in watershed related study or working in the Watershed aieas could find answers for all their problems. Species of vegetation suitable for plantations wiether it is in agricultural lands or non-arable lands or in drainage line treatment are specifically indicated in this book.
Their adaptablity in several agro-climatic conditions also has been specified. Design, measurements and modes of execution of soil and water conservation structures have also been elaborately mentioned in the book.
We are sure that this functions not only as a guide, but also as philosopher to the scientists working in Watershed. Several ways and means to harness people’s participation also have been indicated to ensure that Watershed programmes are a definite success. This book is more valuable and handy to persons in Academic Circles and also the students at PG and Ph. D levels as Watershed is on the cirriculum. |
