u.s. Department of Agriculture
Soil Conservation Service

The Soil Conservation Ser-
vice (SCS) was established in
1935 to develop a national
soil and water conservation
program. SCS provides tech-
nical assistance to local con~
servation districts, sponsors
of watershed protection proj-
ects, and other individuals
and groups.
The SCS technical services
include a n"mber of f100d-
related activities. Soil surveys
are made to determine soil
use potentials and conserva-
tion strategies. SCS's plant
materials centers are oper-
ated to assemble, test, and
encourage the use of promis-
ing plant species in conserva-
tion programs. An inventory
and monitoring system is
maintained for planning the
use of water and land re-
sources. Snow surveys in
western states are made to
develop stream-flow fore-
casts. SCS's watershed studies
provide a basis for develop-
ing coordinated water re-
source programs, and its
floodplain management
studies furnish technical data,
assistance, and information
for local floodplain manage-
ment programs.
