Introduction
Concern for and management of natural resources is becoming more important each day as a result of increasing human populations and limited natural resources and habitats. Natural resource managers help balance the needs of people with the ability of ecosystems to support soil, water, forests, wildlife, fish, and recreational resources. UMC's Natural Resources program (also known as the "NatR" program) provides an integrated approach to soil and water conservation, wildlife and fisheries management, forestry, and recreation. This combination enables graduates to work with a variety of resources and people and to build a career tailored to their interests. Resource Links

Best Management Practices
This series of six articles was written by consultants working in the forest industry. We are grateful to them for sharing their expertise ... WVU-ES Editors KEVIN BELT, R.F., Consulting Forester

ROBERT CAMPBELL, R.F., Consulting Forester
Appalachian Forestry, Hinton/Beckley, W.Va.
Note: This is the second in a series of forestry-related articles to promote proper forestry practices, forestry education, and forestry extension. The series will also speak to some of the misconceptions about forestry. Forestry activities, particularly harvesting, can have serious consequences on soil and water quality. Any good forester is concerned about these impacts. Measures can be taken to preserve soil and water quality and to prevent their undue mixing. These measures are known as Best Management Practices or BMPs. Any activities that involve heavy machinery on mountainous or rolling terrain require cutting roads. Skid roads are used to move logs from stump to log desk by bulldozers and skidders (specially adapted, articulated four-wheel drive tractors). Haul roads are used to move logs from the log deck to the public road. When the roads are built, bare mineral soil is exposed. When soil is exposed, soil or sediment can be moved by the force of water. When sediment moves, it moves toward a stream. The purpose of implementing Best Management Practices is to minimize soil movement, particularly movement into a stream.

(Internet newsletter) ACT was initiated in 1998 at a workshop on Conservation Tillage for Sustainable Agriculture convened in Harare by GTZ, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) , the southern and eastern Africa-based FARMESA, the Zimbabwe Farmers' Union and the South African Agricultural Research Council. It consists of practitioners (farmers) and promoters who believe that the adoption of conservation tillage principles and practices in Africa can not only reduce but can reverse the environmental degradation that is devastating the continent. Its purpose is to identify, develop, disseminate and promote sustainable land use and rural livelihoods through the adaptation and adoption of natural (such as soil and water) and other (such as fuel, energy, time and capital) conserving tillage practices in Africa. The objectives of the Network are to:
  • create fora for, and stimulate the sharing of, the exchange of information and experiences among researchers, extensionists and practitioners, and encourage farmers increasingly to apply methods of soil and water conservation that are environmentally sound and economically viable;

Application Notes Index
Soil and Water Management in a Kiwifruit Orchard
Through regular soil water monitoring of orchard crops using the neutron probe, farmers and consultants have gained valuable insights into the problems associated with frequent wheel tractor activity on orchard soils under frequent sprinkler irrigation. In a wide range of crops such as kiwifruit at Shepparton, grapes at Pokolbin and macadamias at Bundaberg, neutron probe data has shown that dry subsoils, a result of poor infiltration of irrigation water into the root zone, and a small effective root volume caused by mechanical compaction of the inter-row subsoil are major factors determining yield and quality of orchard crops. Two important questions are often asked by orchardists in relation to soil water management. They are, firstly, what is the effective root volume of my tree or vine and what has been the long term effect of inter row cultural practices on soil structure and plant water use. The answers to these questions are being provided by neutron probe soil water data collected in the course of regular soil water monitoring. The data is being used increasingly by orchardists to make sound agronomic decisions as to the need for fundamental changes to be made in their orchard management programs. The two major considerations are the need for deep ripping between tree rows to break up hard pans and the effectiveness of the existing sprinkler or drip irrigation system on variable soil types. In order to determine the effective root volume of a kiwifruit vine in sand soil, five aluminium tubes were inserted along the row at 30 cm intervals from the base of the kiwifruit vine, tube 1 being the closest at 30 cm from the vine and tube 5 the furthest at 150 cm from the vine (Figure 1). The sprinklers were removed from the surrounding area and the soil water content measured as the soil dried out. The soil water content was measured daily at depths of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100 and 120 cm using the neutron probe.

    Ever heard of a "watershed"? Although everyone lives in a watershed
    , most people don't know the actual meaning of the word. Put simply, a watershed is all the land that drains into a given body of water. This body of water can be a creek, pond, river or ocean. Generally speaking, the larger the body of water, the larger its watershed. The Chesapeake Bay watershed, for example, covers 64,000 square miles and drains from six states including 60 percent of Virginia. The map above depicts the Old Dominion's major river watersheds (there are 497 subwatersheds). One thing all of these watersheds have in common is people, and where you have people, you have land altering activity. When we alter land - to farm, to build, to landscape, for transportation - we must take care to make sure our land use changes aren't causing runoff pollution problems for either other people or plants and animals downstream that depend on clean, usable water. The technical term for this form of pollution is

    It has been said that human existence depends on six inches of topsoil and the fact that it rains. Truly, soil and water quality are critical issues facing not only Texas, but all parts of the world. Wise soil utilization is important for erosion control, agricultural productivity and infrastructure utilization. As population increases cause human demands for water to grow, we need to ensure that there is adequate quality water for domestic, agricultural, environmental, recreational and industrial uses.
