The Soil Conservation Technical Handbook is a comprehensive collection of know how about soil conservation. Informations have been gathered from individual knowledge along with past often unpublished, or scarce copies of printed material. The main forms of erosion are covered in this Technical Handbook are Mass movement erosion, Fluvial erosion, Surface erosion and Sediment erosion. The Handbook is divided into two parts which covers the forms and processes of the main types of erosion. More technical descriptions can be found in the references provided alongwith summary of the main control techniques and it also describes the control techniques whom provide information for the practitioner to put together a soil conservation programme. The present hand book would prove self for post graduate students of Soil Science, Agronomy and Agriculturists. Also useful for scientists involved in soil conservation programme and practitioners.
