| Course description |
|
Learn about the physical characteristics of soil and its concepts, measurement method, and the basis of evaluation methods. Especially focus on water retention of soil and movement of water and heat in the soil and learn that the knowledge can be applied to agricultural issues, irrigation management, water resource conservation, soil/groundwater pollution prevention and remediation. |
