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 in loss of soil fertility, [...]
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 effect or consolidation effect such [...]
