Introduction
Soil and Water Conservation Engineering
Soil and water are the vital natural resources essential to sustain life which are most neglected and over exploited. “Soil provides dignity to all life, so it deserves dignity”. This calls everyone to honour and respect the natural resources for the future prosperity and sustenance. The course is structured in an inter disciplinary approach and designed to impart knowledge to students in the latest innovative technologies in the field of Soil and Water Conservation, Micro Irrigation, Irrigation Water Management, Remote Sensing, Water harvesting and Watershed Management .
Why this Programme?
This program mainly provides basic to higher level information of Soil and Water related activities to serve the farming community. Promotes growth of knowledge in soil and water conservation engineering, contributing to the formulation of social policies and providing guidance for government related activities.
Get Started
Aim of the Programme
This program deals with engineering principles involved in Soil and Water conservation, Groundwater, Watershed management, Hydro-logical modelling, Remote sensing and Geographical Information system.
