Across the rolling landscapes of Southeast Nigeria, the ground beneath our feet is telling a story we can no longer afford to ignore. Every rainstorm, every cleared field, every compacted soil layer quietly shifts the balance between water that nourishes and water that destroys. Soil and Water at the Crossroads takes readers into the heart of this urgent environmental challenge, unpacking how land use decisions - from farming to deforestation - dramatically alter the way water moves through the soil and how quickly that soil erodes. Drawing on rigorous field research conducted across distinct land use types in Rivers State, this book translates complex hydrological science into clear, actionable insight. It reveals how soil texture, organic matter, and bulk density interact with rainfall to determine runoff rates and erosion severity. For environmental scientists, land managers, policymakers, and students, this work offers both a diagnostic lens and a forward-looking framework for protecting Nigeria’s most vulnerable soils before the damage becomes irreversible.
