Print on Demand. This book delves into the critical issue of soil moisture and its impact on agriculture in arid regions, particularly within the context of irrigation practices. The author meticulously examines the intricate factors influencing water movement in soil, emphasizing the delicate balance between water scarcity and waterlogging. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Punjab, the book explores the challenges faced by irrigation-dependent farming communities. The author delves into the potential consequences of excessive irrigation, including soil salinization and the depletion of vital nutrients. This exploration extends to the role of soluble salts present in irrigation water and their contribution to soil salinity, highlighting the need for a comprehensive understanding of salt dynamics within the soil system. Through a combination of theoretical frameworks and practical observations, the author sheds light on the complex interplay of forces shaping soil moisture dynamics. The book underscores the importance of scientific inquiry in optimizing irrigation practices and mitigating the adverse effects of water management in arid environments. Ultimately, this book serves as a timely and insightful resource for understanding the critical role of soil moisture in sustaining agricultural productivity and environmental health in arid regions, offering valuable lessons that remain relevant in the present day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

The appearance recently of a paper by B. A. Keen (j. A. Se, Vol. X, 44, which gives an admirable résumé of the work so far published on the mportant subject of soil moisture, has caused me to consider it advisable to give a preliminary account of the lines of work on this subject which have been developed at Lyallpur since 1917. It is probably unnecessary to refer here to the overwhelming insistence of the demand in a Punjab irrigation colony for research into the problems presented by the agriculture of such tracts, which involve the elucidation of the factors controlling the movement of moisture in the soil. That any investigation into these problems involves an attack from many directions is obvious when the complexity of the subject is considered. But to wait for the final convergence of a series of independent lines of investiga tion unduly postpones the publication of ideas and results which may be of use to workers in the subject and which may interest others who may give assistance. I therefore make no apology for the fact that much of the work described hereinafter is at present very incomplete beyond the statement that I hope at not far distant dates to continue this paper in a series of parts, describing in detail the work which has been performed in each division of the subject.
