Summary
Subject offers total view about problems amelioration, with a view to basic
areas - against - erosive protection, drainage and irrigation soil. Set up
bases soil science, forms and sorting erosion, characteristics contrivance
erosive suits. Generally list-form of macroinstruction with exercise
irrigations, with appraisal of quality occurrence dry atmosphere and with
sorts irrigations. Describes causes waterlogging of soil and ways and means
her drainage.
