Erosion Mitigation Techniques

Erosion mitigation techniques aim to prevent soil loss caused by wind, water, or human activity. Common methods include planting vegetation like grass or trees to anchor soil, installing barriers such as silt fences or retaining walls, and using geotextiles to reinforce surfaces. Proper drainage systems direct water away from vulnerable areas, reducing washout. Contour farming and terracing slow water flow across slopes, minimizing erosion. These strategies work together to stabilize soil, protect landscapes, and preserve land productivity, ensuring natural resources are conserved and infrastructure remains secure.
