This topic deals with a wide range of phenomena happening to
soil and water in combined form. It deals with right from formation of soil to its
erosion on one hand and from formation of cloud to occurrence of flood on other hand.
Along with this, it also covers mechanical properties of soil, mechanics of fluid
flow and underground water. After this one can jump to topics that deals with water, soil and plant as
whole. This section constitutes various individual subjects such as,
1. SOIL MECHANICS
2. FLUID MECHANICS
3. HYDROLOGY
4. WELL AND PUMPS
5. SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION
6. IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE
All these subjects are interlinked, means one will find easiness
to understand section thoroughly if follows above said sequence. Each said
subjects carries a number of chapters stated in GATE syllabus. So you need to
study that syllabus meticulously in order to get firm command over subject.
GATE Perspective: - This section is very important from exam point of view. Without
doing well in this section it is too difficult to secure commendable marks. This section
carries nearly 25-30% of total weightage in which one can score about
25-30% means 100% with scrupulous attention towards subject.

These books will cover all the necessary chapter required for subjects. You also need to jargon all the important formula for each topics. There is a trend in GATE to ask directly formula based question related to especially fluid mechanics and soil mechanics. Well and Pumps also having some basics concepts and merely 5-6 formula, learn them for heart. In order to cover all section you need to look after each book and accordingly make strategy for topics mentioned in GATE syllabus.
"All the best"
