Erosion Control Issues
Erosion Control Issues and references include the many ways erosion and sedimentation are controlled on disturbed areas and in road projects. Erosion control involves ground cover and control of surface water flow. Erosion control methods may be in the broad groups of physical methods, vegetative methods, and biotechnical methods. Many techniques and products are on the market to help control erosion. Some references deal with erosion control method selection. Gully stabilization is also included since gullies are a severe form of erosion.
