2. WHAT IS EROSION CONTROL? • Erosion controls are used in natural areas, agricultural settings or urban environments. • Erosion Control is the method of preventing wind and/or water erosion in agricultural and construction areas. When done efficiently, it helps control a surplus of water, and can lead to prevention to things such as water pollution, wildlife habitation loss, and sediment control.

3. Common Solutions to Erosion Control • Use Landscaping: • This may be one of the easiest options for keeping dirt in its place. The root systems of plants and trees stabilize the earth and soak up excess water that tends to whisk soil away. This option works well along slopes and shorelines. Mulch absorbs water which helps keep your plants hydrated instead of running off with precious topsoil. • Retaining Walls: • A retaining wall will keep dirt where you want it and funnel water away from your pool. Because they are installed a few inches below ground level, they can prevent surface runoff. Another advantage of a retaining wall is extra seating. What better way to provide a place to sit that is also functional?

4. Factors That Can Contribute to Erosion • There are many other factors that can contribute to erosion such as climate change and rainfall • Other factors like removing vegetation, disturbing the soil, and changing the natural drainage patters can all cause the problem as well. • Erosion is when the top soil is swept away by natural or man-made forces. Wind, water, and ice all play a part in erosion. It can be caused by natural forces or can be man- made.
