Method to prevent soil erosion
Preventing excessive grazing. Prevention of deforestation. Plantation of trees and plants. Mulch matting can be used to reduce erosion on the slopes.
What is erosion and how can it be reduced?
Surface cover and runoff. Surface cover is a major factor to control erosion because it reduces the impact of raindrops falling on bare soils and wind removing soil particles. It also reduces the speed of water flowing over the land. Erosion risk is significantly reduced when there is more than 30% soil cover.
