    Basically, infrared thermography is one of the non-destructive technique that measures the radiation emitted by bodies in the thermal infrared band of the electromagnetic spectrum.S


    • Formation of cracks due to anomalies in the coating material or associated with the substrate elements.
    • The diagnosis needs to establish the causes of cracks and identify the existing topography as well as the degree of damage.
    • The study indicates a strong dependence on the variations of surface temperature and sun incidence with no agreement about the criteria regarding the best time to make the thermographic inspection in day or night
    • The use of thermography to study cracks, detachment, and humidity are still being performed on an experimental basis.
    • Thermography is used to observe the location of cracks
    • Nowadays, the weather conditions in the country where the studies are being performed are an important variable in the process and results since they involve differentiation of heat flux for each study.

    4. If the infiltration rate is 20-30 mm/hour that it is Sandy Loam.
    5. If the infiltration rate is greater than 30 mm/hour that it is Sand.

    For deciding the location of headwork an irrigation system, you should have to follow points during the selection of location.

    1. Elevation of water should be in such a manner that the water will flow under the gravity force.
    2. All the construction materials should be available in the surrounding area.
    3. Diversion head should be near the irrigation for irrigating area as possible and for keeping minimum canal length.

    The curve number method is an adaptable and widely used for runoff estimation. This method is important properties of the watershed, specifically soil permeability, land use and antecedent soil water conditions which take into consideration. Thus, straightforward methods of calculating runoff can tell you the amount of water that storms bring to the earth. For a given surface area such as a roof or yard, multiply the area by the inches of rainfall and divide by 231 to obtain the runoff in gallons.

    Contour farming is an agricultural practice where steps are cut out on a sloped field so as to provide steps of flat land (same contour) for cultivation. The potential benefits are a check on erosion, better rainfall usage, more infiltration, and reduction in the need for irrigation.

    It is feasible on all slopy regions to accept on those with highly erodible soils and soils that allow little infiltration.
