Department of Soil and Water Conservation Engineering (SWCE)
Soil and Water Conservation Engineering is under the Agricultural Engineering which works on natural resource management for sustainable agricultural production. The students who study in this department is involved in the teaching, research and extension activities related to soil and water conservation
Soil and water conservation engineering is the application of engineering principles to the solution of soil and water management problems. The conservation of these vital resources implies utilization without waste so as to make possible a high level of production which can be continued indefinitely.Agricultural Engineers in Soil and Water Conservation, Sound soil and water conservation is based upon the full integration of engineering, plant, and soil sciences. The agricultural engineer because of his training in soils, plants, and other basic agricultural subjects, in addition to his engineering background, is well suited to carrying out the integration of these three sciences.
