Design manual for soil conservation works

This manual furnishes the policy needed to provide uniform high quality in SCS engineering. It is essential that SCS provide consistent quality engineering and that conservation practices be of the appropriate level of quality to insure proper functioning, with the planned maintenance, throughout their design life. Prince George's Soil Conservation District, "Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Pond Safety Reference Manual" – July Techno-grams In addition, the county issues techno-grams and bulletins to update and/or clarify design requirements.

Design of Soil and Water Conservation Structures for Smallholder Agriculture Training Notes by Prof. Bancy M. Mati 1. INTRODUCTION What is soil and water conservation? Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) are activities that maintain or enhance the productive capacity of land in areas affected by or prone to soil erosion. to surveying and constructing various soil conservation earthworks can be found in ‘Introductory manual to soil conservation in Western Australia’ and on a video entitled ‘The role, design and construction of soil conservation structures’. Limitations of this manual. Physical soil conservation measures Physical soil conservation structures are permanent features made of earth, stones or masonry, designed to protect the soil from uncontrolled runoff and erosion and retain water where needed. • Selection and design of structures depend on: • Climate and the need to retain or discharge the runoff.
