The reason for this can be twofold‚ firstly to assist in the location of the project and secondly to ascertain ground conditions. A site investigation should be taken for every site. Without a properly procured‚ supervised and interpreted site investigation‚ hazards which lie beneath the site cannot be known. A site investigation is made

Conservation Make a Difference” Living in a country with rapidly growing population‚ conservation is an increasingly pressing matter. This dilemma is more prevalent in times of drought. Individuals have to play a part to manage water and to keep from soil erosion. However‚ making a population do something is a difficult objective to achieve. I offer a solution in three ways: one‚ that a fine is imposed on citizens that go over a certain amount and two‚ we make appliances and water efficient farming

Effect on plants Nitrogen fixation‚ which is required for the growth of higher plants‚ is hindered by pesticides in soil. The insecticides DDT‚ methyl parathion‚ and especially pentachlorophenol have been shown to interfere with legume-rhizobium chemical signaling. Reduction of these symbiotic

Soil Resistivity Why Determine the Soil Resistivity? Soil Resistivity is most necessary when determining the design of the grounding system for new installations (green field applications) to meet your ground resistance requirements. Ideally‚ you would find a location with the lowest possible resistance. But as we discussed before‚ poor soil conditions can be overcome with more elaborate grounding systems. The soil composition‚ moisture content‚ and temperature all impact the soil resistivity

the soil fauna‚ earthworms have an important role to improve soil texture. The soil texture plays an important role in water holding capacity. Earthworms have an ability to enhance soil characteristics. It contributes to the breakdown of organic matter and release plant nutrients (Edwards and Bohlen‚ 1996). Earthworms are also considered as useful indicator of the health of soil ecosystem (Edwards and Bohlen‚ 1992) as to their role in soil fertility through fragmentation and mixed up the soil with
