1. Environmental systems, of rock, soil and earth energy exchanges -- 2. Soil and soil strength -- 3. The behaviour of liquids -- 4. Soil, water and watersheds -- 5. Evapotranspiration and exchange of energy at the earth's surface -- 6. Infiltration at the field scale -- 7. Overland flow on watersheds -- 8. Erosion and deposition by water -- 9. Watersheds and rivers -- 10. Movement of water through the groundwater zone -- 11. Movement of water through the unsaturated zone -- 12. Salinity and contaminant transport.
Summary: "This introductory textbook describes the nature of the Earth's environment and its physical processes so as to highlight environmental concerns arising from human use and misuse of soil and water resources. The book provides the basic knowledge required to understand how land and water resources can be used sustainably through action at the scale of watersheds or catchments. Whilst the book provides an
