erosion. you should look for a precision irrigation system whose precipitation rate correlates to the soil's infiltration capacity. unlike center-pivots or rain-guns that have high hourly flow, precision sprinkler systems have low to medium precipitation rates, so they don't generate run-off. droplet...
surface and into the soil profile. in south africa, more than 80% of rainfall infiltrates into the soil (on average). horton's equation is often used as an infiltration model, giving a characteristic parabolic reduction in infiltration rate from some initial value, to a value referred to as an ultimate...
, which reduces the need for nitrogen-based fertilizers and reduces runoff into waterways. beans and pulses are also low water-use crops, and can maintain yields even in drought conditions. they also improve soil fertility and biodiversity, and their root structures stabilize soil and reduce erosion....

h: okay. well. weeds bring mineral. phil: don't lose it. h: weeds bring minerals and water up from deep in the soil and they make them available to microbes and neighboring plants. phil: well, how you stress like every third word there. h: hey!...
erosion. these include creating terraces and grassed waterways on their fields, constructing sediment basins and more. these measures lead to better quality surface water. in order to provide these cost-sharing programs, we work with several other government agencies including: natural resources conservation...
