Soil Erosion: Its Prevention and Control

Effect of Nanoclay on Soil Erosion Control

Wind erosion is a widespread phenomenon in arid region. The purpose of this study was assessed the capacity of nanoclay to control soil erosion in wind tunnel experiment. The nanoclay isolated from soils was dominant in montmorillonite. A sandy soil from the Khara desert, nearly 100 km East of Isfahan (Central Iran) was used. The soils of this area are structurally unstable and sandy texture ma...

Economic Valuation of Beach Erosion Control Programs

In this study, we employ a choice-based conjoint survey design to elicit individual choices of beach erosion control programs that can potentially cause multiple effects on beach environment. Two empirical choice models which incorporate individual heterogeneity, are used to analyze and compare the elicited individual choices of erosion control programs. Our results show that to a typical indiv...

Erosion Control in Furrow Irrigation Using Polyacrylamide

Currently gravity irrigation remains the most widely used in agricultural areas and 90 percent of plantings, the water is applied to the plots by gravity. One of the main problems with these systems is erosion, which is a by product of the erosive forces of water over the row, which brings soil loss and therefore decreases in crop yield. Erosion is the removal of surface soil material caused by...

Application of Polyacrylamide for Splash Erosion Control on Marl Soil

Splash erosion is recognized as the first stage in the process of erosion that results in bombardment of the soil's surface with rain drops. Two basic processes in soil erosion are the dispersement of soil particles by rain drops and the changes caused to the soil's structure, which are then moved by runoff. In this research,the effect of various polyacrylamide (PAM)values (0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 ...
