Soil Erosion Control Act

The Soil Erosion Control Act is a law that aims to prevent the loss of soil caused by wind, water, and other natural forces. It encourages responsible land use and management practices to protect the environment, agriculture, and water quality. The act provides funding and guidance for projects that reduce erosion, such as planting cover crops, building terraces, and establishing conservation methods. Its goal is to maintain healthy soil, prevent land degradation, and promote sustainable land use for farming, development, and natural ecosystems.
