Relationship Between Flooding and Agricultural Practices

Executive Summary

Agricultural practices are an essential sector of the economy and are closely linked with several environmental and economic phenomenon. With an increase in rising demands, there has been an increase in agricultural land use. It has been considered that the forest and plantation land acts as a sponge and prevents excess water runoff. With the increase, the agricultural practices, the soil structure, chemical nature, and retention capacities have been significantly altered. It has also been hypothesized that this change in soil composition and structure impacts the water retention capacities of the land. Water management strategies are, therefore, essential as they allow for the development of sustainable water use and management in the agricultural lands. Adherence to these policies has been found to be highly variable in the Australian territories impact the water load and runoff in t....
