Soil and Water Conservation

Soil and water conservation involves practices to protect our land and water resources from erosion, contamination, and depletion. It aims to maintain healthy soil for agriculture, prevent runoff that can cause flooding or water pollution, and preserve water availability. Techniques include planting cover crops, contour plowing, building terraces, and using proper irrigation. These methods help ensure that soil remains fertile, water stays clean, and ecosystems stay balanced, supporting sustainable farming and environmental health for the future.
