Understanding erosion

• The process of erosion happens through natural
  including water , wind and ice.
• If you have light sheet erosion, which occurs on
  relatively flat areas of land, you can plant
  vegetation right away. Youll start with
  temporary groundcover to hold the soil together,
  then gradually move on to adding native plants
  that will restore the land to its naturally
  healthy state.

To stop vegitation

• planting shrubs and ground covers with strong
  root systems building terraces installing drip
  irrigation systems. Despite the widespread notion
  that sowing native grass seed is an effective
  method to control soil erosion, studies show that
  such slopes have more erosion.

Why we should do this

• Factors than can contribute to erosion include
  soil characteristics, climate, rainfall intensity
  and duration, vegetation or other surface cover,
  and topography.
• Understanding the factors that effect erosion
  makes it possible to predict the extent and
  consequences of onsite erosion. Factors than can
