Share Description
This course is all about learning soil erosion and water erosion and deriving methods for the conservation of the same. This course talks about the mechanics of soil erosion and its few types. It starts by explaining how erosion affects our environment and later talks about the erosion control measures. This course also covers concepts of soil loss measurement techniques, erodibility and erosivity. It aims to teach both mechanical and biological factors affecting soil erosion and helps to derive the universal soil loss equation (USLE).
Topics Covered:
- Soil Erosion: Know what soil erosion means and understand in depth the mechanics and the factors of the soil erosion process.
- Water Erosion: Know what water erosion means and understand in depth the mechanics and the factors of the soil erosion process.
- Erodibility: Come across a few factors which make you understand why soil is more prone to erosion and know about a few soil properties.
- Erosivity: Understand the erosion models and the two main factors of erosivity such as rainfall intensity and climatic conditions.
- Control Measures: Come across a few control measures which are biologically and mechanically effective for both soil and water erosion.
- Conservation: See how you can reduce erosion and preserve soil health with the help of a few conservation techniques.
- And Many More Topics..
Who Will Benefit?
- Students Of Environmental Science: All students who are learning about the land and environment and want to know the factors and measures of soil erosion.
- Engineers In The Agricultural Field: Working professionals who want to understand how erosion plays a role in land productivity.
- Farmers: All those who want to come up with better solutions for both water and soil erosion.
Why Choose This Course?
As you choose this course, you come across two important concepts of soil and water erosion. This course makes you learn the core reasons for soil and water erosion and later gives the control measures for the same. It benefits you by briefing you about water erosion and soil erosion control methods. You will also learn how to estimate and measure the soil loss and get briefed about the universal soil loss equation. By the end of this course, you will learn everything about the concepts of erodibility, erosivity and soil conservation.
