Proper land use and moisture conservation practices help in the conservation of wind erosion in agricultural lands. In areas which are subjected to severe wind erosion, especially in the arid and semi- arid areas additional protective measures in the form of wind breaks and shelter belts are needed. The wind erosion control measures may broadly […]

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to Wind Erosion 2. Factors Influencing Wind Erosion 3. Mechanics of Wind Erosion 4. Estimating Soil Losses by Wind. Introduction to Wind Erosion: Wind erosion occurs when winds blow across cultivated bare fields, especially if the soil is loose, dry and finely divided. Wind erosion results […]
How to Control Stream Bank Erosion?
Article shared by :
Bank erosion in case of large rivers and bigger streams need special engineering measures. Some of the simpler erosion control, measures useful on small streams. Stream bank erosion control may be broadly classified into two groups-direct protection works and indirect protection works. Direct protection includes the works done directly on the bank itself for buffer […]
