Description

This book is designed for use by Soil engineers, professionals and researchers. The book covers the demonstration of techno-chemical method for reclamation of saline sodic soils. This book is written to develop a suitable information regarding mechanical design amendment for reclamation of saline sodic soil. Physical methods, combined with chemical and biological amendments are also discussed in this book to reach at suitable solution. A Professional advisory committee evaluated this material and approved as a professionally sound work. The committee is composed of licensed engineers, Soil Scientists and Soil Remediation experts. They have read and commented on all of the chapters. The book starts with an overview of techno-chemical methods, Design and their efficient use. The book also covers Physical and chemical parameter s effects on crop growth. Each subject in each chapter is introduced with a discussion of the theoretical principles that are to be applied in the design techno-chemicals methods for reclamation of sodic soils. In addition, in each chapter, appropriate design criteria from the different books as well as alternative approaches from the literature are addressed
