Soil and Water Science

Soil and Water Science explores the interactions between soil, water, and ecosystems. It studies how soil properties affect water retention and movement, which are crucial for plant growth and agricultural practices. This field examines processes like water infiltration, evaporation, and runoff, influencing water quality and availability. Understanding these interactions helps manage natural resources sustainably, supports agriculture, and addresses environmental concerns such as erosion and pollution. By optimizing soil and water management, we can enhance food production, protect ecosystems, and ensure a clean water supply for future generations.
