The land of the former base also poses a problem of soil and ground water pollution.

The evaluation and survey of soil and underground exploitation works.

Background information on structure and or content In table 5 (II), Parties may choose to report N2O emissions from the drainage of soils from two land use categories, Forest Land and Wetlands, for both organic and mineral soils, if they wish to do so.

Groundwater means water beneath the surface of the ground located in a saturated zone and in direct contact with the ground or soil.

So, it stays under the soil.

Good earth. Rich earth.

The study focused on saline and sodic lands but other degradation processes of great importance in Kenya include fertility decline, soil acidification and aluminium toxicity, organic matter decline, wind and water erosion, and soil compaction.

The authors identified the important land degradation processes in Uzbekistan as (1) secondary salinization of irrigated lands, (2) flooding and waterlogging of irrigated lands, (3) loss of organic matter and fertility decline in soils, (4) widespread occurrence of erosion in irrigated soils, (5) soil pollution, and (6) aerosol transport of salt and dust from the dry bed of the Aral sea.

The major land degradation problems in Egypt are related to hydrological constraints which cause waterlogging, salinity and alkalinity, physical constraints such as deterioration of the soil structure and compaction, and biological constraints caused by a decline in soil organic matter leading to declining soil fertility.

Soil erosion, fertility depletion, salinization, waterlogging and the lowering of the groundwater table have also been recognized as important land degradation problems in Malaysia.

Dirt. Earth. Soil.

The Environmental Protection Agency also collected soil and groundwater samples and conducted independent analyses.

The long term impact on soil and groundwater has similarly received inadequate attention.24

Groundwater pollution is interrelated with the pollution of other environmental media (surface water, soils, atmosphere).

Tanah yang sehat (healthy soils) sangat penting bagi nutrisi manusia dan upaya melawan kelaparan. Manusia bergantung pada tanah tidak hanya untuk produksi pangan namun juga perolehan sumber air minum baru.

Civil Soil

We'd lay on top of that the soils and the waters, and illuminate the landscape.

These Visual Soil Assessment (VSA) indicators are morphological and measured soil characteristics that allow for the transfer of information between sites, soil types, land uses etc., while providing a cross check and physical reality to structure descriptors.

So you see the nest maintenance workers come out with a bit of sand, put it down, turn around, and go back in.

The other sets of data to be produced include topography, meteorology, soil suitability and land ownership.

The earth says it's high time...

This was another site where it had been bare and eroding, and at the base of the marked small tree, we had lost over 30 centimeters of soil.

Clean soil is a critical problem the nitrification, the dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico.

It was also found that up to 30 35 per cent of the soil in those areas was water ice.

Hydropower schemes can inundate large areas and their operation can cause erosion along the riverbed both upstream and downstream of the dam site.

The report provides a good snapshot of some of the major soil degradation problems. The paper also highlighted the importance of soil organic matter and how the decline of soil organic matter is accelerating salinity problems as well as fertility problems.

Applies remote sensing techniques to monitor agricultural lands and produce land use and soil taxonomy maps.

UNEP will continue the Soil and Terrain Digital Database (SOTER) activities in 1997 with the International Soils Reference and Information Centre and FAO.
