Description:
The development of

Colby Moorberg
. The aim of the project was to develop an open, alternative textbook for courses in soil and water conservation. Dr. Moorberg teaches AGRON 635 - Soil and Water Conservation at Kansas State University each fall semester. The goal was to develop a resource for soil and water conservation education that uses existing extension bulletins and publications, government publications, USDA NRCS conservation practice standards, and other resources that are freely-available online. It is organized as an annotated bibliography with links to the online resources, and curated into relevant chapters and sections based on each topic.
