Erosion Control
Rill Erosion
In this assignment you will write about a soil erosion problems, describe what the problems are, and think of ways the erosion could be controlled.
Write a short paper (1 to 1 ½ pages double spaced) on the site describing the problem and possible solutions. This paper will include these paragraphs:
Location – Describe where the site is.
Problem – Describe what is occurring at the site and why you think it is happening.
Solution – Think of ways you could solve the erosion problems and describe how they would work.
You can use this sit for information about Erosion…

Rill Erosion
Rill erosion is a form of soil erosion that occurs as a result of removal of soil due to the presence of concentrated water that runs through a little streamlet. Detachment in this form of erosion, rill erosion, does occur when the sediment within the flowing water is below the existing amount of the load during transportation as a result of soil resistance to the detachment. Therefore, in the presence continuous increase in the flow of water, rill erosion increases through getting wider and deeper in terms of length and height. Rill erosion takes place within a sloping land that has no ground cover. During rainy season, water within the sloping land flows and runs down along the slope towards various water bodie...
