Erosion Control Technologies

Erosion control technologies are methods used to prevent soil from washing away caused by water or wind. They include physical barriers like silt fences, which trap sediment; planting vegetation to hold soil in place; mulching to protect soil surface; and engineering structures such as check dams or geotextiles that stabilize slopes. These techniques protect land, waterways, and ecosystems by reducing sediment runoff, improving water quality, and maintaining landscape stability during construction, agriculture, or natural events. They are essential for sustainable land management and preventing environmental degradation.
