The paper focuses on correlating the funds spend and the impact of various soil and water conservation works. Sample villages were assessed by conducting a survey at ground level. It is observed that in the number of villages the groundwater table was raised resulting in charging the wells from...

these parameters were integrated with other thematic information viz., land use/cover, drainage, slope, and soil in the GIS environment to arrive at a decision regarding a suitable site for having soil and water conservation structures (nala bund, check dam, and percolation tank) in its place ...
behavior of sub-structures has been shown in numerous studies: when water is entrapped in the sub-structure, pore pressure can increase significantly under the train, resulting in a decrease in both the shear strength and stiffness of sub- ...
Soil microbiomes drive key functions in agroecosystems, determining soil fertility, crop productivity and stress tolerance. The microbiome is intricately linked with soil structure, such as aggregation and pore connectivity, because this structure regulates the flow of water, oxygen and nutrients through ...
Materials and methods A commercial cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) variety was grown on sandy loam soil under four soil amendment conditions: inorganic compound fertilizer (750 kg/ha,), replacement of 150 kg/ha of inorganic compound fertilizer with 3000 kg/ha of organic fertilizer or vermicompost,...
