Hello Ashwani,
You may want to contact your local USDA Natural Reources Conservation Service
office and ask to speak to one of their soil scientist. As an Agency NRCS ha a
lot of top notch soil scientist. Many of these scientist have a great deal of
knowledge about soil health, compaction and infiltration.
Here is a good place to start http://soils.usda.gov/
regards,
Sharif
