Soil and water conservation

Moreover, physical, chemical, microbial and biochemical properties of soils and their interactions with climate and hydrological conditions for successful crop cultivation are considered in the studies on SWC.

Consequently, SWC deals with the application of methodologies for determining all those vast soil features, from gravimetric methods to applications of nuclear and nanotechnologies, and application of soil and water conservation methods. SWC studies is necessary for planning of the correct management of soil organic matter and soil moisture to diminish soil loss and to simplify the management of problem soils and irrigation water and all necessary cultural practices, and of course involving nature-based solutions including activities of hydrological balance approach for rainwater harvesting, agroforestry, mulching etc. with the aim of achieving the Sustainable Development in food production.
