Erosion control solutions is the natural process of preventing erosion on riverbanks, agriculture, and developing land. Effective erosion control techniques manage problems created by water runoff. By preventing water runoff, erosion control is important in protecting wildlife habitat and preventing water pollution.
In cities, urban erosion control is part of the storm water runoff system. Often a natural physical barrier, such as a rock garden is used to prevent water erosion. In an urban environment, maintaining and building an effective storm drainage system is important in managing water erosion.
In agriculture, tillage management is an effective form of controlling erosion. In the past conventional tillage techniques created a high amount of soil turnover, as residual plant matter was turned under the soil. Conservation tillage allows the residual plant matter to remain as part of the topsoil, thereby creating less erosion.
