A comprehensive engineering guide to theory and design practices for the control, utilization, and management of water in agriculture, with emphasis on scientific principles. Integrates into a single volume engineering practices for solving problems relating to erosion control, flood control, drainage, and irrigation. Presents information on precipitation, infiltration, evapotranspiration, and runoff, in addition to providing the entire design data for the U.S., plus a wide range of its applications. Contains conversion tables from English units to SI, and SI to English units, as well as numerous example problems, illustrations, and appendix.

As our society places increasing importance on the management of our natural resources, natural resource managers in both public and private sectors will need to understand the essential elements of soil and water systems. The principles of soil and water systems are clearly presented, and examples are given to demonstrate the applications to typical problems encountered by resource managers. Also includes the basic principles for controlling water and wind erosion, the disposal of excess water in humid areas and from irrigation systems, and the management of irrigation systems.

Combines engineering practices for the solution of erosion and flood control, drainage and irrigational problems. Sufficient hydrologic information--precipitation, infiltration, evaporation, transpiration and runoff--is given as background for design problems discussed later. Makes readers aware that the environment must be considered in the design of soil and water facilities. Features many example problems, with detailed solutions, to facilitate learning.

Soil & Water Conservation Engineering (Ferguson Foundation Agricultural Engineering Series)

Mississauga, ON, Canada: John Wiley & Sons Canada, Limited

A concise introduction to the engineering aspects of soil and water conservation. Investigates coverage of the world needs for food production, rainfall, runoff and water supply development and farm storage reservoirs, water management practices, and simple measures for erosion control and more effective drainage and irrigation. Highlights surveying and mapping for the beginner.

Elementary Soil and Water Engineering

As in the first and second editions, this elementary textbook on soil and water engineering has been written primarily for classroom and laboratory instruction at the college level for students in agriculture and in related non-engineering fields. The purpose of the book is to present up-to-date information that has been gathered through experience and research in a form that will be useful for the beginning student of this subject. The engineering phases of soil and water conservation are emphasized, but the authors have realized that all aspects of these problems must be considered, including agronomic, economic and others.
