Book excerpt: Blueprint for the regeneration and enhancement of soil and landscape through water control and land management. Based on material first published as 'The Keyline Plan' (P A Yeomans) in 1954, this substantially updated edition of Yeomans' 'Water For Every Farm' (1965, 1968) is edited by his son. Contains current examples, extra diagrams and photographs, and uses both metric and imperial measurements. Incorporates modified techniques adapted to new designs in agricultural machinery. Includes an index. The author, who died in 1984, was a mining geologist and pioneer of new soil fertility techniques in broadacre farming.
