Soil and Water Conservation Engineering
Under this department, students are given exposures about different techniques for rain water harvesting, soil conservation, water conservation, degraded land reclamation, water quality analysis, surface and drip irrigation system design, remote sensing and GIS, waste water management, watershed management, etc.
The Department of Soil and Water Engineering is mainly engaged in teaching to under graduate and post graduate students. Besides, UG and PG programmes, department also offers vocational training course on “Tools and Techniques for rainwater harvesting. It offers various courses like Watershed Hydrology, Irrigation Engineering, Drainage Engineering, Remote Sensing and GIS Applications, Surveying and Leveling, Soil Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Soil and Water Conservation Structures, etc. to the UG and PG students.
The research project based on local and future needs of the farmers, field engineers and entrepreneurs are given to the final year under graduate and postgraduate students as a part of their academic research work. Department is having GIS and Remote Sensing, Hydrology, Surveying and Leveling, Soil Mechanics, Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, Advanced Water Quality Testing and Monitoring System, Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics laboratories to provide practical knowledge to the students and also to demonstrate and organize training to farmers and field engineers, entrepreneurs etc. Many farmers, women and local peoples, NGO and others often visit the department to gain knowledge of different soil and water engineering aspects.
