Anneke TRUX "Water and soil conservation practices in the Sahel"
The document discusses water and soil conservation practices in the Sahel region of Africa and their potential to increase the resilience of rural livelihoods. It notes that the Sahel is vulnerable to climate change and land degradation due to population growth, poverty, and political/institutional conditions. Water and soil conservation techniques like terracing, trenches, and dams can help increase water infiltration and availability, improve ecosystems, and diversify livelihoods. Specifically, water spreading weirs buffer floodwaters and improve downstream areas for agriculture, vegetation growth, and local communities. The document recommends long-term, landscape-scale projects with flexible, participatory planning to achieve significant resilience impacts.
Soil and water conservation
The document discusses soil and water conservation presented at a workshop. It defines soil fertility as a soil's ability to supply nutrients for plant growth. Factors that contribute to soil fertility include depth, drainage, aeration, water holding capacity, nutrients, organic matter, and pH. Fertility is lost through erosion, leaching, weeds, monocropping, nutrient removal, over-cultivation, and pH/climate changes. Methods to maintain fertility include erosion control, organic matter addition, pH control, and conservation farming. Contour farming, terraces, cover crops, and vegetative barriers are described as erosion control techniques, with instructions provided on using an A-frame to measure contour lines.
soil erosion
Soil erosion is caused by both natural processes like wind and water, as well as human activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, monoculture farming, and removing windbreaks. This accelerated erosion decreases soil fertility and crop production. Several methods can limit soil erosion, including terracing to hold soil and water, contour ploughing across slopes, planting shelter belts to protect soil, using strip farming to minimize bare soil, and installing stone lines along contours to reduce runoff.
SOIL CONSERVATION
The document discusses various methods for soil conservation including terrace farming, contour ploughing, crop rotation, shelter belts, strip cropping, and multiple cropping. Terrace farming uses stepped terraces to prevent soil erosion and retain water and nutrients. Contour ploughing involves ploughing across slopes along contour lines to reduce runoff. Crop rotation replenishes soil nutrients and diversity to prevent pathogen and pest buildup. Shelter belts are rows of trees that protect soil from wind erosion and provide habitat. Strip cropping alternates rows of crops with different root depths. Multiple cropping grows two crops in the same space during a season.
Soil conservation techniques
This document discusses various techniques for soil conservation to prevent erosion and maintain fertility. It describes contour plowing, terrace farming, keyline design, perimeter runoff control, windbreaks, crop rotation, and mulching as organic farming practices that conserve the soil. It also recommends preventing overgrazing, re-establishing forest cover, and maintaining soil pH levels. The document concludes by mentioning engineering structures like gabion walls, retaining walls, breast walls, check dams, and weep holes that can further control soil erosion.

How Can People Conserve Soil
Soil is an important resource for growing food, but it can be harmed in several ways. Removing plants and trees causes soil to be washed away by water and wind. Farming the same land year after year also depletes minerals in the soil. However, farmers can conserve soil through methods like strip cropping and contour plowing. Strip cropping involves planting grass or clover between crop strips to reduce erosion, while contour plowing plows along hills rather than up and down them. Conservation efforts are needed to protect this crucial resource.

7 ways to control soil erosion
One of the best and modern technique to stop soil erosion is to install a biodegradable erosion control mat. These mats are made from 100% natural straw and coconut that prevents soil from getting away on hill sides.
Soil Conservation Control Measures in Non-Agricultural lands
This document discusses soil conservation measures for non-agricultural lands. It defines non-agricultural lands as areas unsuitable for cultivation due to limitations like steep slopes or erosion. About 17% of India's total land area is considered wasteland. Soil conservation is important to prevent environmental hazards from erosion. Measures discussed include reforestation, mulching, strip planting, and terracing to stabilize soil and increase water absorption. Temporary, semi-permanent and permanent structures can be used to control erosion, ranging from brushwood poles to concrete dams.
DESERTIFICATION
Three main points:
1. Desertification is a type of land degradation where dry regions become more arid, losing vegetation and wildlife. It is caused by factors like drought, overgrazing, overcultivation, and removal of trees.
2. Categories of desertification range from light to very severe based on damage to vegetation and soil. Countermeasures include reforestation, soil fixation, contour trenching, and managed grazing.
3. Large-scale afforestation efforts in China have failed to solve desertification due to unsuitable climate with low rainfall, as the natural vegetation is grassland or desert in semiarid and arid regions with 50-500mm of rain. Previous attempts at aff
Mechanical practices of soil conservation
The mechanical soil conservation practices aim to reduce runoff velocity, retain water in soil, and prevent erosion. These include making basins to collect and retain rainwater, breaking hard clay pans to improve drainage, subsoiling to promote water absorption, contour terracing to retain water and check erosion, contour trenching with pits across slopes, terrace outlets to safely remove excess water, gully control, and stream bank protection. Terracing is an expensive but important method, especially on steep land, involving constructing leveled areas at right angles to slopes. Factors like slope length and steepness, soil type, and precipitation determine terracing feasibility.
Soil management
This document discusses the key properties and components of soil. It notes that soil acts as a key resource for crop production by supporting physical, chemical, and biological processes. Soils can be classified based on their particle size and amount of organic matter. Different soil types like sandy, loamy, and clay soils are described along with their characteristics. Organic matter, soil fertility, drainage, pH, and microbes are also discussed as important factors that influence soil quality and plant growth. Maintaining healthy soil through proper management is emphasized.
Soil conservation
The document discusses various agronomic measures for soil conservation. Some key measures mentioned include contour cultivation, strip cropping, use of cover crops, mulching, addition of manure and fertilizers, construction of bench terraces, use of vegetative barriers, and maintaining soil pH and salinity levels. Soil conservation is important to prevent erosion and destruction of soil. Various farming practices can be employed to effectively conserve soil on agricultural lands.
Chapter 6 Section 3
Soil erosion occurs through water and wind carrying away topsoil. This is harmful because it removes nutrients needed for plant growth. Factors that increase erosion include removal of vegetation, steep slopes, cultivation, forest and grazing land mismanagement. Erosion exceeds soil formation when accelerated by human activities. To reduce erosion, farmers use techniques like no-till farming, cover cropping, and contour plowing to keep soil protected. On slopes, terracing creates flat surfaces to slow water flow. Exposed soils are managed through spraying water or containing eroded areas until revegetation.
Human Activities that Affect the Quality and Quantity of the Soil
The document discusses three main human activities that can affect soil quality and quantity: farming, construction of structures, and waste disposal. Farming can have both positive and negative effects on soil through practices like tillage, use of pesticides and veterinary medicines, application of fertilizers and manures, and crop irrigation. Construction activities can degrade soil quality through erosion and sedimentation. Waste disposal contaminates soil with hazardous chemicals that can harm plants and humans. The document also provides examples of conservation practices like no-till farming, use of buffer strips, and maintaining soil pH.
Biological soil conservation methods
The document discusses biological soil conservation methods. It describes several methods such as contour farming, crop rotation, strip cropping, choice of crops, mulching, cover crops, reforestation, mixed crops, and wind breaks. These biological methods help maintain soil cover and reduce erosion by decreasing runoff, increasing infiltration, and reducing the velocity of water flow. The methods are effective because they are low cost and protect the soil through different planting techniques and crop choices that sustain soil productivity and quality over time.
Erosion control measures
This document discusses various erosion control measures for soil and water conservation. It describes agronomic measures like contour cropping, strip cropping, and mulching which control erosion by reducing rain drop impact and increasing infiltration. Mechanical measures like bunding and terracing are also discussed. Bunds are embankments constructed across slopes to slow water flow, while terraces convert steep slopes into level platforms separated by retaining walls to control runoff. Different types of bunding, terracing and their applications are explained in detail.
Rainfed agriculture and watershed management
This document discusses various soil and crop management practices for efficient water utilization in rainfed areas. It describes practices like deep tillage, conservation tillage, making bunds, summer ploughing, mulching, soil amendment, contour farming, and using organic matter to improve soil structure and moisture retention. It also discusses selecting suitable drought-resistant crops and cultivars, proper sowing times, optimal planting patterns and densities, green manuring, and providing protective irrigation at critical growth stages to improve crop yields with limited available water. The overall aim is to enhance water infiltration and storage in soil while reducing evaporation losses, thereby optimizing water utilization under rainfed conditions.

soil and water
The document discusses strategies for soil and water conservation. It explains that soil erosion exceeds tolerance levels due to unsustainable land management practices. The strategies aim to reduce erosion to maximum sustainable production levels through various vegetative, mechanical, and chemical practices. Some key practices discussed are crop rotation, cover crops, conservation tillage, contour bunds, terraces, and reforestation which help protect soil from rain impact and runoff through maintaining ground cover.
Soil Water Conservation structure
Water control structures can be either temporary or permanent. Temporary structures are only recommended where inexpensive labor and materials are available, as mechanization has reduced their practicality. Permanent structures use hard materials to dissipate water energy and are required where high velocities must be controlled. Common permanent structure types include drop spillways, chutes, pipe spillways, and culverts. The design of permanent structures must ensure adequate capacity to pass design flows and dissipate water energy without erosion.
Soil conservation
Soil conservation is important because soil forms over thousands of years but can be destroyed in just a few years by human misuse. Sheet, wind, and gully erosion can remove topsoil. Maintaining plant cover in contact with the soil surface is critical for protecting soils from erosion by water and wind. Recommended practices include contour plowing, reduced or no tillage, windbreaks, allowing soils to rest, and promoting humus production.

SOIL PROFILE SOIL EROSION SOIL CONSERVATION CONTROL ON FLOODS
The document discusses soil profiles, soil erosion, soil conservation, and flood control. It defines a soil profile as the sequence of soil horizons from the surface down. It describes the main horizons and their characteristics. It then discusses the types and agents of soil erosion caused by water and wind. The effects of soil erosion include loss of fertile topsoil and increased flooding. Methods of soil conservation include agronomic practices, mechanical methods, and reforestation. Flood control methods center around dams, river defenses, and coastal structures to prevent flooding and erosion.
Engineering methods to control soil erosion
Engineering methods can be used to control soil erosion. These include check dams, retaining walls, waterways, terracing, and embankments. Check dams are small temporary or permanent dams built across channels to slow water flow and reduce erosion. Retaining walls are designed to restrain soil on steep slopes. Waterways are designed to convey runoff at non-erosive velocities to disposal points and are often lined with grass. Engineering methods physically prevent erosion through structures, while bioengineering uses plants and trees.

Water:A precious resource
A water footprint is the amount of water used directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, or community on a daily basis. It includes water used for household needs, food consumption, and other activities. Most of the Earth's water is salty and located in oceans, with only a small fraction being freshwater available for human use. Freshwater sources include groundwater stored underground in aquifers, and surface water found in lakes, rivers, and streams. Water can exist in three states - liquid, gas (water vapor), and solid (ice) - and moves continuously through the water cycle by changing states and flowing across and within the Earth. Water is essential for human survival and is used for domestic, agricultural, industrial, and
Revnnath Jedgule

The document aims to convey the depth of Mary's sorrow and suffering as Jesus' mother and encourage reflection on one's own sins which cause her pain.
Nutrient Cycles
The document discusses nutrient cycles at multiple levels - within ecosystems, globally, and how they interconnect. At the ecosystem level, nutrients cycle between living organisms and non-living components like soil, water and atmosphere through various processes. Globally, nutrient loss from one ecosystem becomes a gain for others, and the cycling of elements like carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and water occur at the planetary scale through the biosphere, atmosphere and lithosphere. Human activities are increasingly impacting global nutrient cycles.
Sun
The Sun is a star located at the center of the Solar System. It contains over 99% of the mass of the entire Solar System. The Sun is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium and has a diameter of approximately 1.4 million km. It emits light and heat energy that supports life on Earth and is the dominant factor in Earth's climate and weather.
Telescopes
The document discusses different types of telescopes and factors that impact their performance. It describes how the size of a telescope's aperture impacts its light-gathering power and angular resolution. Larger telescopes are able to see fainter objects but the atmosphere limits resolution to around 1 arcsecond. Techniques like adaptive optics and interferometry are discussed as ways to overcome atmospheric limitations and achieve higher resolutions than single large telescopes.
Moon
- The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite and orbits Earth every 27.3 days. It has a diameter of 3,474 km and its surface area is less than 1/10 that of Earth.
- The near side of the Moon always faces Earth due to tidal locking. The far side was first photographed by the Soviet probe Luna 3 in 1959 and lacks the large dark basins (maria) found on the near side.
- Internally, the Moon is differentiated with a crust, mantle, and small core. Its crust is largely composed of oxygen, silicon, magnesium, iron, calcium, and aluminum.
Ecosystem
The document defines key terms related to ecosystems, including ecosystem, biotic and abiotic components, trophic levels, and food webs. It explains that an ecosystem is the interaction between a living community and its non-living environment. Ecosystems have biotic components like producers, primary consumers, and decomposers, as well as abiotic components like sunlight and inorganic materials. Energy and nutrients flow through ecosystems via food chains and food webs that link organisms across trophic levels.
Ecology
The document discusses key concepts in ecology including:
1) Ecology is the study of living organisms and their interactions with the non-living environment. It examines different levels of organization from organisms to populations, communities, ecosystems, biomes, and the biosphere.
2) Ecologists study how energy flows through ecosystems from the sun and how matter cycles through different abiotic and biotic components.
3) Ecosystems depend on energy from the sun, cycling of matter, and gravity to sustain life on Earth.
Nervous System
The nerve cell is the basic unit of communication in the vertebrate nervous system. A neuron consists of a cell body with dendrites that receive signals and a long axon that transmits impulses. An action potential is generated when the voltage across the membrane is briefly switched and moves down the axon. Neurotransmitters are released at the synaptic cleft between neurons to transmit signals to the next cell. The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons carry signals to the CNS while motor neurons carry signals away from the CNS to effector cells like muscles.
Endocrine System
The document discusses the endocrine system, which controls many body functions by releasing hormones into the blood. It describes several endocrine glands such as the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, pancreas, adrenal glands, gonads and ovaries. It also discusses endocrine emergencies like diabetes mellitus and the role of insulin in facilitating glucose entry into cells.
Earth History
The document summarizes the major eras of geological time from the formation of the Earth 4.6 billion years ago to the present. It outlines four eras: Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic. The Precambrian era saw the earliest life forms and atmosphere. The Paleozoic era brought marine diversity and early land plants and animals. Dinosaurs dominated during the Mesozoic before an asteroid caused their extinction. The current Cenozoic era began after this mass extinction and saw the rise of mammals and modern humans.
Biomes
There are 8 major biomes on Earth: tropical rainforests, tropical savannas, deserts, chaparral, grasslands, temperate deciduous forests, temperate boreal forests, and tundra. Biomes are defined by similar climate conditions and types of plants and animals. Climate, especially temperature and rainfall, are the primary factors determining the location and characteristics of different biomes. Latitude and elevation also impact climate and therefore affect biome distribution globally.
Spanish American War
The document summarizes key events in Philippine history from the Spanish-American War to the establishment of the Philippine Commonwealth. It describes how the US helped Cuba gain independence from Spain, leading to the Spanish-American War. The US then gained control of Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. The Battle of Manila Bay and siege of Manila weakened Spanish control, and the Malolos Congress established the first Philippine Republic. However, hostilities grew between Filipino and American forces, contributing to the end of the Philippine Revolution. The Commonwealth era was then established to transition the Philippines to independence.
The Secularization Of Priests During The Spanish Period
The Suez Canal, which opened in 1869, connected the Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea, shortening travel time between places like Barcelona and Manila from 3 months to 32 days. This made trade in the Philippines more profitable and brought foreign merchants and progressive ideas. However, it also sparked desires for freedom and improvement. There was also a controversy between regular priests belonging to religious orders and secular priests over authority in parishes. In 1774, the Archbishop assigned secular priests to replace regular priests who refused bishops' visits to parishes, though regulars considered Filipinos unfit to be priests. The issue took on racial overtones as Spaniards favored their own regular priests over Filipinos.
The Galleon Trade
The document discusses the history of trade in the Philippines under Spanish colonial rule. It describes how the Spaniards established the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade in the 16th century, which became the main trade route between Mexico and the Philippines. It also allowed for liberal ideas to enter the country. Later, Governor General Jose Basco y Vargas implemented economic reforms in the late 18th century to make the Philippines more self-sufficient and established a tobacco monopoly to raise government revenues.
Spanish Expeditions To The Philippines
1) Ferdinand Magellan led the first circumnavigation of the globe from 1519-1522 while trying to find a western route to the Spice Islands.
2) Magellan was killed in the Philippines in 1521 during a battle with Lapu-Lapu, but Juan Sebastian Elcano eventually completed the journey, becoming the first to circumnavigate the globe.
3) Spain then sent several expeditions to colonize the Philippines between 1525-1564, with Miguel Lopez de Legazpi finally succeeding in 1565 by establishing settlements in Cebu and Manila with the help of alliances with local leaders.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
