Landform grading design and construction technology have advanced rapidly during the past decade, and this book explains the technique, its uses, its various applications, and its significant advantages. Landforming: An Environmental Approach to Hillside Development, Mine Reclamation and Watershed Restoration, presents the first comprehensive and practical guidebook to the innovative techniques of landform grading and revegetation. Written in straightforward language and liberally illustrated with informative photographs and schematic drawings, the text should prove of value to practicing professionals in such diverse fields as land planning, civil and geotechnical engineering, landscape architecture, and geology as well as to personnel in a variety of local, state and federal regulatory agencies and environmental interest groups"--From publisher description. 606 $aSoil stabilization 606 $aGrading (Earthwork) 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aSoil-binding plants 606 $aLandscape construction 606 $aSoil stabilization 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aSoil-binding plants 606 $aLandscape construction 606 $aCivil Engineering$2HILCC 606 $aCivil & Environmental Engineering$2HILCC 606 $aEngineering & Applied Sciences$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books 615 0$aSoil stabilization. 615 0$aGrading (Earthwork) 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 0$aSoil-binding plants. 615 0$aLandscape construction. 615 0$aSoil stabilization 615 0$aSoil conservation 615 0$aSoil-binding plants 615 0$aLandscape construction 615 7$aCivil Engineering 615 7$aCivil & Environmental Engineering 615 7$aEngineering & Applied Sciences 676 $a624.1/52 700 $aSchor$b Horst J.$f1938-$0893548 701 $aGray$b Donald H$0306042 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bBTCTA 801 2$bBAKER 801 2$bYDXCP 801 2$bC#P 801 2$bAGL 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910144529703321 996 $aLandforming$91996075 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
