It is strongly recommended to provide mechanism for safe disposal of excess runoff. Improvements in soil conditions and soil-water regime can be accomplished by runoff management techniques. Various field management techniques suitable for dry areas are described below: 1. Indigenous Techniques: a. Farm Bunding: In this technique a bund is constructed around the field using […]

Permeability of Soils: Factors and Determination
Article shared by :
In this article we will discuss about the:- 1. Meaning of Permeability 2. Darcy’s Law for Determining the Permeability of Soils 3. Coefficient 4. Factors 5. Determination. Meaning of Permeability: The velocity of water flowing through a soil mass between any two points depends directly on the hydraulic gradient or the head loss per unit […]
How to Determine the Permeability of Stratified Soil Deposits?
Article shared by :
The soil mass, in the field, consists of several layers of soil deposited one above the other. Each layer may have different coefficients of permeability. The average of permeability of the entire soil deposit depends on the direction of flow with respect to bedding planes. Transported soils usually exist in several layers, each layer with […]
