Gully erosion

Gully erosion is a form of soil erosion where water runoff wears away soil, creating deep channels or "gullies" in the landscape. This process often starts with small rills, which expand over time due to heavy rainfall or human activities like farming and deforestation. Gullies can lead to significant land loss, disrupt ecosystems, and impact agriculture and water quality. Addressing gully erosion typically involves practices like planting vegetation, building barriers, or using other conservation methods to stabilize the soil and manage water flow effectively.
