Soil
and Water Sciences is the study of "the living land".
It is a fundamental part of the environment and the basis
for life on planet earth. However, man's intervention is
today affecting aquatic systems and atmosphere through ecosystem
interactions. Pollution of soil and water resources, erosion
and soil depletion, among other environmental changes are
seriously impacting the ecosystem and further curtailing
man's ability to produce food. All these man made crisis
calls for more intensive research in this field. Befitting
the challenging times that the world is passing through,
the Icfai University Press has come up with a quarterly
Journal-The Icfai University Journal of Soil and Water Sciences-with
the sole objective of disseminating new knowledge that has
a significant bearing on the sustainability of natural systems
and economic growth, among the academia to trigger further
research into soil and water systems for making them more
productive on a sustainable basis.
