    ENGINEERING GEOLOGY
    Engineering geology is an applied branch of earth science. It involves
    the application of knowledge of geosciences to ensure safety, efficacy, and
    economy of engineering projects. It is primarily devoted to the study of rocks
    and soil and underground water. This is essential for proper location, planning,
    design, construction, operation, and maintenance of engineering structures. In
    addition, engineering geology is associated with the assessment and
    implementation of corrective measures for a wide variety of natural and man-
    made hazards.
