Soil and Water Management The Department of Soil and Water Sciences offers flexible two degree programs which are designed to yield graduates who are knowledgeable of soils and water use in arid environments: The Bachelor in Science degree (BSc) in Water Technology and in Soil and Water Management. Soil And Water Management The Soil and Water management program is designed to produce graduates knowledgeable in land use of arid environments. Required courses give students an understanding of physical, chemical and biological processes in soils. This will allow them to better comprehend soil fertility, soil salinity and the consequences of land management practices (especially agricultural practices) on the soil resources. The course work also covers the use, occurence and behaviour of water in arid climates. Elective courses address irrigation principles, soil and water conservation, soil-water-plant relations, management of salt-affected soils, chemical movements in soils and general agronomy and plant sciences. The program was developed to produce graduate with the ability to plan, design, study and manage projects involving soil, water, energy and human resources of the Sultanate. 1.

In regions where rainfall is insufficient and uncertain, irrigation water is essential for profitable crop production. But irrigation is a delicate tool that can endanger the farming system's sustainability (long-term profitability) instead of increasing it: it can be too expensive, can dry out underground water resources, cause irreversible soil property changes, etc. The problem is that it is very difficult to know if irrigation is at an optimum level. And since damage caused by too little water is better known than the reverse, farmers naturally tend to bring too much water, which can be worse on a long-term basis. Therefore, attention must not only be focused on equipment dimensioning but also on the management of irrigation water . It is the only way to lower production costs (no wasteful irrigation schemes), reach potential yields (crop cover requirements) and make water resources and soil last (no waste, no irreversible soil changes).

If the state of the soil structure is unknown, a crop malfunction can be totally misinterpreted and thus improperly corrected. Soil structure and irrigation Soil structure and soil texture also have an impact on water infiltration rate and thus on water management efficiency: water losses from evaporation or runoff are either reduced or increased when soil structure is modified. The problem in arid areas is that soil structure is more fragile than anywhere else because of intensive irrigation. In these conditions, high-performance agriculture then greatly relies on a proper diagnosis and management of soil structure states. It is the only way to improve both water availability and infiltration, since soil texture cannot be modified.

Illinois Wildlife Federation – Advocating Practical, Scientific Management Focused on ethical hunting practices and management and conservation of fish and wildlife, forest, mineral, water and soil resources. Includes history, newsletter, legislation issues, memorial fund, links and contacts. http://www.illinoiswildlife.org/

ILLINOIS WILDLIFE FEDERATION has been a consistent leader in protecting our natural resources and needs. Our members act as spokesmen, advocates and leaders for Illinois' great out-of-doors. The Illinois Wildllife Federation began in 1936 as conservation clubs throughout Illinois came together. Those early conservation leaders organized with the purpose of taking conservation out of politics. The work resulted in the creation of the Illinois Department of Wildlife and Parks, a conservation agency that has been a model for other states. Since then, the Federation has undertaken many successful projects that ensure Illinois continues to be the leading state in conservation policies and funding. Today our members continue practicing the tradition of practical scientific management of fish and wildlife, forest, mineral, water and soil resources. We encourage and advocate the long-term protection and enhancement of all outdoor recreation in Illinois. E-Mail: Info@IllinoisWildlife.org

2002 Tree Planting Through the joint cooperation of Lincoln Oakes Nursery, Towner Nursery and Lawyer Nursery the District was able to purchase 125,825 trees for their 58 planting sites plus all the handplants. Tree planting officially started on April 15th with the first load of deciduous trees arriving April 12th, then evergreens on the 25th. Crew members of the Tree planting and Weedbarrier season are: Kenny Doerr, John Gupman, Diane Klein, Della Markegard, Jeff Witt, JR Vliem, Pat Grossman, Kay Johnson, Deah Meier, Erik Klein, Carla Palczewski, Kelly VanMatre, Shari Wick, Cory VanMatre, Jesse and Carla Palczewski, Nathan Meidinger, Kristi Knudson, Nicole Christman, Warren Wick, Mark Kunze,Seth Clayton, and Christi Muggerud. Unlike the years before, the rain did not hold the crews up they completed the season on June 29th having planted 113.7 miles of trees, 45.2 miles of Living Snow Fence, 46.8 miles of Continuous CRP/LSF, 9.1 miles of EQIP, 7.9 miles of regular CRP, 3.5 miles of Cover Locks and the remaining footage was either SIP or had no cost share. The weedbarrier crews worked long hot days laying more than 100.5 miles of fabric, with hardly any moisture the job was exhausting and the District commends the hard work and dedication of all the crews.

Best Management Practices This series of six articles was written by consultants working in the forest industry. We are grateful to them for sharing their expertise ... WVU-ES Editors KEVIN BELT, R.F., Consulting Forester Appalachian Forestry, Johnson City, Tenn., and ROBERT CAMPBELL, R.F., Consulting Forester Appalachian Forestry, Hinton/Beckley, W.Va. Note: This is the second in a series of forestry-related articles to promote proper forestry practices, forestry education, and forestry extension. The series will also speak to some of the misconceptions about forestry. Forestry activities, particularly harvesting, can have serious consequences on soil and water quality. Any good forester is concerned about these impacts. Measures can be taken to preserve soil and water quality and to prevent their undue mixing. These measures are known as Best Management Practices or BMPs. Any activities that involve heavy machinery on mountainous or rolling terrain require cutting roads. Skid roads are used to move logs from stump to log desk by bulldozers and skidders (specially adapted, articulated four-wheel drive tractors). Haul roads are used to move logs from the log deck to the public road. When the roads are built, bare mineral soil is exposed. When soil is exposed, soil or sediment can be moved by the force of water. When sediment moves, it moves toward a stream. The purpose of implementing Best Management Practices is to minimize soil movement, particularly movement into a stream.
