Soil Surveys

Soil surveys are detailed studies that assess the types, properties, and distribution of soils in a specific area. They help us understand how different soils can influence land use, agriculture, construction, and environmental management. Conducted by soil scientists, surveys include maps and reports that describe soil characteristics like drainage, fertility, and stability. This information guides decisions for farmers, engineers, and planners to use land effectively and sustainably, ensuring that the right activities are matched with suitable soil types for safety and productivity.
