Biological Methods for Erosion Control: Contour cultivation and Cropping Systems

Biological Methods for Erosion Control: The methods used for controlling soil erosion through crops or vegetation and through agronomical practices are known as biological methods. The methods discussed herein are applicable both for controlling water and wind erosion. The biological methods for controlling water erosion consist of: (1) Contour cultivation, (2) Cropping systems, and 1. Contour Cultivation: Contour cultivation means [...]

How to Control Gully Erosion: Top 4 Methods | Soil Management

The methods available for gully control are – (1) Diversion of runoff, (2) Vegetative methods, (3) Construction of temporary structures, and (4) Construction of permanent structures. (1) Diversion of Runoff: Diversion of runoff is achieved by constructing diversion drains. The diversion drain is a shallow channel put across the slope above the gully. The design principles of diversion drains are [...]

How to Design Gully Control Structures? | Gully Erosion | Soil Erosion

The following article will guide you about how to design gully control structures. Design of Gully Control Structures: There are three steps followed in the design of gully control structures. These are: (1) Hydrologic design, (2) Hydraulic design, and (3) Structural design. (1) Hydrologic Design: The hydrologic design consists in estimating the runoff which the structure is expected to handle. [...]
