Soil Errosion and conservation Soil Erosion and conservation 1.Soil erosion is the removal of part of the soil by action of wind or water 2.
Accelerated erosion is the most serious form of soil degradation.
Loss of soil from hill slopes increases the surface runoff of water which lead to flooding in the lower parts of the watershed. Erosion by water. Loss of nutrient caused by erosion can cause a loss of yield . Universal soil loss equation. K is the soil erodibity factor representing the susceptibility of soil or surface material to erode, transport sediment at a given rate of runoff given a particular rainfall input as measured under a standard conditions.
