SOIL EVALUATION

SOIL SURVEY AND SOIL EVALUATION

Soil Survey as a Basis for Land Evaluation

Soil Surveys are meant:
1-Doing investigation the geographical distribution of soil that occur in the area of interest.
2- Determining the most important characteristics of the soils.
3- Delineating the map units and describing them in a logical legend in term of dominant, associated and inclusion soil units, including classification of soils. Soil surveys ultimately lead to evaluation of the quality of the different map units for specific types of land use.
