• Great Plains Dryland Conservation Technologies (PDF) S-81 June, 1995 - Dryland conservation technologies involve 1) reducing soil water evaporation, 2) eliminating water use by weeds, 3) reducing water runoff and soil erosion, 4) increasing water infiltration, and 5) increasing snow catch. These critical components primarily involve maintaining crop residues on the soil surface throughout the year.
