Soils and Geology Management 

Healthy soil absorbs water and makes it available for plants, cycle nutrients and filter pollutants. Soil also controls water flow and stores and cycles nutrients. Soil is the basis of our ecosystem and controls living things above and below the surface. Soils serve as the primary medium for controlling the movement and storage of energy and water. The physical, chemical and biological properties of soils determine productivity, hydrologic response, site stability and ecosystem resiliency.
