Renewable energy was identified as one of the alternatives to fossil fuels several years before. On one hand the developed countries are trying to maintain their standard of living while the developing countries are trying to solve their industrial, social and economical problems to increase their standard of living. A lot of Research and Development in the field of solar energy was carried out both in developing and developed countries and renewable energy is now utilized in domestic, agricultural and industrial sectors and also in the space.Time has now come when one should .seriously look into the problems and screen, select, adapt, and manage emerging renewable energy technologies like solar and wind energy for their use. Agriculture is one of the major occupations throughout the world, and using solar energy for solving various problems in agriculture will be beneficial for human kind. This book on Renewable Energy and Green Technology encompasses various topics for students, researchers for clear understanding of different topics as per ICAR Vth Dean¿s committee report.

In order to keep the land productive, a good conservation program is imperative. Soil and water conservation is the basis of such a program, and also helps improve land impoverished by erosion and overuse¿makes it more productive so that it can support more people. For effective conservation of soil and water, we must treat and use the various kinds of land according to their capability and need. To do this it is necessary to study the land carefully, so as to be able to fit conservation practices and structures to the various kinds of land.It is very pertinent to inculcate basic knowledge about soil and water conservation among the undergraduate students. This introductory bbok on Soil and Water Conservation Engineering has been made particularly to meet the course requirement of the B.Sc. (Ag) students as per the latest syllabus recommended by the ICAR. I am sure that the Book will be useful to the B.Sc. (Ag) students as well as to other personnel engaged in soil conservation research and teaching.
