In this article we will discuss about broad base terraces and its design. Introduction to Broad Base Terraces: A broad base terrace is the surface channel or embankment type construction, which is formed across the land slope. Broad base terraces may be classified in two types, based on their primary functions, i.e. to retain or remove the runoff water. These [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to Soil Erosion Predictive Models 2. Importance of Erosion Predicting Models 3. Erosion Model Selection/Development. Introduction to Soil Erosion Predictive Models: There have been developed various soil erosion/soil loss predictive models/equations by several investigators, but they have their own limitations, hence do not provide suitable means for assessing the soil erosion/soil [...]
The soil is always under natural/man forced threat in terms of erosion either due to water or wind actions. To check the occurrence of soil erosion/soil loss various measures are followed. For better effectiveness of soil loss control measures, their proper design and construction need to the very important. The design is carried out based on the few pre requisite [...]
