Understanding erosion
  • The process of erosion happens through natural
    including water , wind and ice.
  • If you have light sheet erosion, which occurs on
    relatively flat areas of land, you can plant
    vegetation right away. Youll start with
    temporary groundcover to hold the soil together,
    then gradually move on to adding native plants
    that will restore the land to its naturally
    healthy state.

To stop vegitation
  • planting shrubs and ground covers with strong
    root systems building terraces installing drip
    irrigation systems. Despite the widespread notion
    that sowing native grass seed is an effective
    method to control soil erosion, studies show that
    such slopes have more erosion.

Why we should do this
  • Factors than can contribute to erosion include
    soil characteristics, climate, rainfall intensity
    and duration, vegetation or other surface cover,
    and topography.
  • Understanding the factors that effect erosion
    makes it possible to predict the extent and
    consequences of onsite erosion. Factors than can
