The desire for publishing this handy book has originally come from our long-time appetite for writing a non-voluminous book on soil and water management that can be used by students or any readers who need to have a quick glance on the scientific jargons, that are mostly used in soil and water management studies. Both the authors prepared intensely to crack ARS examination in soil sciences and land and water management engineering and are currently constituting the scientific team of ICAR-Central Arid Zone Research Institute, RRS-Bhuj.
The book aims to constructively write a handy compilation of all these scientific terms along with their simplified definitions so that the readers are offered with a tailored note of one-liners from each respective sub-topics.
