Upload NowIn this article we will discuss about the design and effectiveness of shelter belt used to control soil erosion due to wind. Design of Shelterbelt: A shelterbelt involves following parameters for determining under its design: 1. Location: The location of wind break/shelter belt should be in such a way, as to dissipate the maximum amount […]

Mechanics of Wind Erosion: 3 Phases | Soil Management
Article shared by :
The occurrence of wind erosion could be described under following three different phases. They are: 1. Initiation of Soil Movement 2. Transportation of Soil Particles 3. Deposition of Soil Particles. Phase # 1. Initiation of Soil Movement: Soil movement is initiated by the turbulence created by strong wind currents. The movement of soil particles may […]
How to Determine and Estimate the Erodibility Factor of Soil?
Article shared by :
In this article we will discuss about how to determine and estimate erodibility factor(k) of soil. Determination of K-Factor: The first study on erodibility of materials was done by Hjulstrom. They developed a curve, called Hjulstrom’s diagram which includes three sectors (erosion, transport and sedimentation) depending on water velocity and the diameter of soil particles. […]
