There are four main types of soil: sandy soil, silt soil, clay soil, and loamy soil. Sandy soil has large particles that drain well but poor water retention. Clay soil has very small, tightly packed particles that retain water well but drain poorly. Silt soil has intermediate particle size, draining better than clay and retaining water better than sand. Loamy soil is a balanced combination of sand, silt and clay, making it highly fertile and suitable for agriculture.

Sandy soil
The document describes different types of soil: sandy soil, silty soil, clay soil, loamy soil, peaty soil, and chalky soil. Sandy soil has large particles that allow for good drainage but lacks nutrients. Silty soil is more fertile than sandy soil and offers better drainage. Clay soil has very fine grains, poor drainage, and is difficult to cultivate when wet. Loamy soil has a mix of sand, silt, and clay, making it fertile with good water retention and drainage. Peaty soil forms in wet areas and contains decayed organic matter but lacks nutrients. Chalky soil is alkaline and contains stones, making it prone to dryness and poor for planting without additional watering

The document discusses different types of soil and their properties. There are four main types: sand, silt, clay, and humus. Sand has large pores that allow for quick drainage but don't retain much water. Clay has very small pores and particles, allowing it to retain a lot of water but poor drainage. Silt has properties in between sand and clay. Humus, from decaying organic matter, holds more nutrients and water than sand or silt. An ideal soil is loam, a mixture of the soil types and humus that balances water retention and drainage with nutrients.

Soil texture and color are two important physical properties of soil. Texture, determined by particle size, affects water holding capacity and drainage. Color provides clues to nutrient levels, with darker soils generally more fertile. The three main soil types formed from weathered rock are sand, silt and clay. Sand has large pores and drains quickly but holds few nutrients. Clay has small pores, drains slowly but retains water and nutrients well. Loam, an ideal soil for growing plants, is a mixture of sand, silt, clay and decomposed organic matter called humus.

Sandy Soil - This type has the biggest particles and the size of the particles does determine the degree of aeration and drainage that the soil allows. It is granular and consists of rock and mineral particles that are very small. Therefore the texture is gritty and sandy soil is formed by the disintegration and weathering of rocks such as limestone, granite, quartz and shale. Sandy soil is easier to cultivate if it is rich in organic material but then it allows drainage more than is needed, thus resulting in over-drainage and dehydration of the plants in summer .

Soil texture refers to the relative proportions of sand, silt, and clay particles in soil, and greatly influences soil properties. The soil texture triangle classifies soils into 12 categories based on their sand, silt, and clay content. Knowing a soil's texture allows one to predict things like drainage, water holding capacity, and whether certain plants will thrive. Clay particles are very small and give soils a sticky texture, while holding water and nutrients well but limiting drainage. Silt adds little to soil characteristics, and sand provides good drainage but low water holding capacity, with these properties depending on the sand particle size.

There are three main types: sandy soil which contains large particles and drains quickly; clayey soil which contains fine particles and retains water well; and loamy soil which is a mixture allowing for good water retention. The document also describes soil layers and profiles, with the A-horizon being the topsoil, B-horizon being compact subsoil, and C-horizon containing small rocks. Humus from decaying matter enriches the soil.
The soil
Soil is the layer of loose material on Earth's land surface and is made up of particles of rock, air, water, and humus. Soil is organized into layers with topsoil at the surface containing the most humus and nutrients for plant growth, subsoil below it containing some humus and rock particles, and bedrock forming the bottom layer underneath. Soil types vary depending on the amounts of sand, silt, and clay particles in them, with loam being an ideal mixture supporting plant growth.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Climate Change All over the World .pptx
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Types of Soil
- 1. What are the types of soil and its characteristics? • Sandy soil It consists of small particles of weathered rock. Sandy soils are one of the poorest types of soil for growing plants because it has very low nutrients and poor water holding capacity, which makes it hard for the plant’s roots to absorb water. This type of soil is very good for the drainage system. Sandy soil is usually formed by the breakdown or fragmentation of rocks like granite, limestone and quartz. • Silt soil is known to have much smaller particles compared to sandy soil and is made up of rock and other mineral particles, which are smaller than sand and larger than clay. It is the smooth and fine quality of the soil that holds water better than sand. Silt is easily transported by moving currents and it is mainly found near the river, lakes and other water bodies. The silt soil is more fertile compared to the other three types of soil. Therefore, it is also used in agricultural practices to improve soil fertility.
- 2. • Clay Soil is the smallest particle among the other two types of soil. The particles in this soil are tightly packed together with each other with very little or no airspace. This soil has very good water storage qualities and makes it hard for moisture and air to penetrate into it. It is very sticky to the touch when wet but smooth when dried. Clay is the densest and heaviest type of soil which does not drain well or provide space for plant roots to flourish. • Loamy Soil It is a combination of sand, silt and clay such that the beneficial properties of each are included. For instance, it has the ability to retain moisture and nutrients; hence, it is more suitable for farming. This soil is also referred to as being agricultural soil as it includes an equilibrium of all three types of soil materials, being sandy, clay, and silt, and it also happens to have humus. Apart from these, it also has higher calcium and pH levels because of its inorganic origins.
