gully plugs

Gully plugs are barriers made from natural materials, like earth or rocks, used to control water flow in gullies—small channels formed by erosion. Their primary purpose is to slow down or stop water runoff, minimizing soil erosion and promoting the accumulation of sediment. This process helps maintain soil health and can prevent flooding in surrounding areas. Gully plugs are often part of environmental conservation efforts to protect landscapes and improve water management in agricultural and natural settings. They restore habitats and enhance the landscape's resilience against heavy rainfall and other weather events.
