Successful agriculture depends on healthy soil and water. Fertile soil and clean water are both renewable resources in natural systems and, when managed properly, can also be renewable resources in the context of agricultural production. Soil and water are required resources for life on Earth. Most terrestrial life needs a continual source of water for sustenance and soil is an essential medium for plant growth in most terrestrial ecosystems, providing nutrients, water, physical support, and biological interactions with roots. Soil and water are closely linked in nature, impacting each other through the hydrologic, geo-chemical and energy cycles. In most cases, an impact on the soil system has a direct impact on water resources. This book provides a practical description of soils, water and their properties. The author has put soils and water conservation into the context of land management at its broadest level.
