Om denne e-bog
The book is designed to serve as a textbook for graduate and undergraduate courses on soil and water conservation engineering for students of agricultural engineering, civil engineering, environmental engineering and related disciplines. The book presents the basics of soil and water erosion, and describes the measures to control erosion, focusing on structures to prevent and control erosion. The chapters dedicated to erosion control structures provide a detailed view of each structural construction, covering the function, design and elements of each type of structure. Some common type of structures covered in the book are terrace, bunds, vegetated waterways, and gully control structures, including spillways. The book also covers wind erosion and control structures to prevent wind erosion. Each chapter includes pedagogical elements such as examples, practice questions, and multiple-choice-type questions to improve understanding and aid in self-study. Besides serving as a textbook university coursework, the book can also serve as a supplementary or primary text for professional development courses for practicing engineers engaged in soil and water conservation or watershed management. The book will also serve as a reference for professionals, environmental consultants, and policy makers engaged in soil and water conservation related fields.
Om forfatteren
Dr. Rajendra Singh has been a faculty in the Agricultural and Food Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur since 1989. He has been associated with the Soil Water Conservation Engineering discipline of the Department (presently known as Land Water Resources Engineering), and has taught “Soil & Water Conservation Engineering” at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He has contributed significantly to the Agricultural Engineering profession through teaching, research and technology transfer.
He has developed and popularised five software packages, including the Soil Conservation Structure Designer (SCS_Designer) to improve the agricultural engineering education and research. Dr. Singh has guided 17 PhD and 75 MTech students, with an h‐index of 33 and i‐10‐index of 51. He has received several national and international honours and awards including BOYSCAST Fellowship, AICTE Career Award for Young Teachers, ICAR Young Scientist Award, DAAD Research Fellowship, DAAD Visiting Professorship; and held important positions like Member, Board of Governors, Dean (Undergraduate Studies) and Head of Department at IIT Kharagpur, and Member of Research and Technical Advisory Committees of several National bodies. Dr Singh has also won the “Recognition Award” in the area of ‘Soil & Water Conservation Engineering’ from the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
