    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 feasibleRead more

    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.

    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.

    Lime stabilization with deep injection :

    yes definitely it is possible that the embankment settlement can be reduced at embankment junction by lime stabilization with deep injection

    The process of injecting a lime slurry into the subsurface up to some depth of some feet it is one of the innovative and comparatively very good technique for an engineer as well as for labour.

    The main purpose of constructing climb up to some depth is to fill voids with a chemical compound

    Thank you.
