GRAIN farmers are aggressively seeking land to rent... no pasture is safe. Roll it flat and hit'er," writes a farmer from northeast Alberta. "One fellow I know tells me his neighbour signed up for $65 an acre rent. Times that by 160 (acres in a quarter section) and no cow is safe. "This period from the early 1980s through to the new millennium was probably the worst of times for grain farmers in Western Canada. Interestingly, it was the time when the greatest advancements were made in terms of soil conservation and soil improvement," [Doug McKell] said. That was the era in which summerfallow ended, zero-tillage evolved, and seeding technology became less invasive. Meanwhile, programs encouraged farmers to retire land that was highly prone to erosion from annual cropping. Those develop...

Incidence of flood has been on the increase in Ilorin for sometime; and this exemplifies the problem operating in most urban centres in Nigeria. Increase in runoff production in an urbanized catchment is a function, among other factors of to increase in percentage paved area brought about by deforestation activities and poor environmental attitude of the people. This study examines the relationship between runoff discharge and basin characteristics in Ilorin. Data used were collected directly from the field over a period of one calendar year. Rainfall data were collected in each basin using a standard rainguage of 20cm orifice while basin discharge was collected twice daily (8.00am and 6.30pm) using fabricated staff gauge graduated in centimeter. Basin morphometric attributes were compu...

As for your own yard, there may be a number of things you can do to improve the drainage. The first thing to accomplish is improvement of the grading to channel the excess water away from the foundations and low areas. Distributing several metres of mixed soil and grass around the home will help with the drainage. What your neighbour to the west has done is not a slight to your home, but good maintenance to their own. When the homes are first built, the normal process is to grade up the soil excessively along the sides of the houses to provide a generous slope to a swale created between the two. This swale will normally slope toward the front street, channelling excessive water in that direction. As the freshly graded soil quickly settles in this area, it must be built back up to recr...

Anyone in an older home, or a newly built one with a typical concrete basement floor slab, knows that the basement floor will always be cooler than others in the home due to its proximity to the soil below. While warming this floor is the major benefit of structural wood floor construction, there is another significant improvement with this building method. Concrete basement floors poured on grade will have a tendency to move with the soil underneath, creating bumps, unevenness, and often small to moderate-sized cracks. In the worst cases, significant soil heaving can cause major cracks and deflection in this floor. In those situations, construction of basement walls and rooms can be difficult to achieve. Most homes with structural wood floors are built on deep concrete piers, commonly...
