Abstract

The main objective of soil improvement by
drying is water balance regulation in the sense of decreasing
water reserves, with the help of a group of agricultural and
engineering reorganizing measurements. The man, in his daily
work, often comes up against the need of modifying or
remaking some natural�??climatic, hydrological and soil
conditions, among others. Some lands are naturally leveled,
they have natural drainages and deep plough layers, they
consist of naturally-blended clay soils with an appropriate
amount of sand, they can be naturally-irrigated grasslands or
covered by a loam layer; others should be leveled and require
artificial drainages, the arable layer should be artificially
deepened, the right proportion of clay and sand must be
artificially created, that is, they are grasslands without natu-
ral irrigation that should be modified by working on it, to
achieve the same conditions of other improved soils through
water improvement by drying.
