Soil and Water Conservation Technologies
Land
and water are the most important natural resources to be conserved and
sustained carefully for better crop production.Soil erosion is a serious
threat,which is caused due to agricultural intensification, rolling
topography,soil degradation and intense rain this is likely to be more aggravated
in the context of climate change.Loss of rainwater and soil lead to loss of nutrient
and organic carbon from the top layer of soil.Various measures can be taken
for SWC,which are broadly categorized into agronomic and engineering measures.
