| Course abstract | |
| The main objective of the course is to provide students with increased and interdisciplinary understanding in theoretical and practical aspects soil and water conservation: soil moisture characteristics and water balance, static equilibrium of soil water, laws of soil water movement, ground water flow and soil water balance in vadose zone. Assessing the soil drainage status, need for drainage and irrigation is approved. | |
