  2. Landslide mitigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landslide_mitigation

    More generally, therefore, re-profiling systems are associated with and integrated by surficial protection of the slope against erosion and by regulation of meteoric waters through drainage systems made up of ditches and small channels (clad or unclad and prefabricated) to run off the water collected.

  3. Vegetation and slope stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetation_and_slope_stability

    Vegetation and slope stability are interrelated by the ability of the plant life growing on slopes to both promote and hinder the stability of the slope. The relationship is a complex combination of the type of soil , the rainfall regime , the plant species present, the slope aspect , and the steepness of the slope.

  4. Revetment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revetment

    Asphalt and sandbag revetment with a geotextile filter. A revetment in stream restoration, river engineering or coastal engineering is a facing of impact-resistant material (such as stone, concrete, sandbags, or wooden piles) applied to a bank or wall in order to absorb the energy of incoming water and protect it from erosion.

    A water bar in the Catskills.The trail forks right; the drainage ditch to the left. A water bar or interceptor dyke is a road or trail construction feature that is used to prevent erosion on sloping roads, cleared paths through woodland (for utility companies such as electricity pylons), or other accessways by reducing flow length.

  6. Erosion control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erosion_control

    Erosion control is the practice of preventing or controlling wind or water erosion in agriculture, land development, coastal areas, river banks and construction. Effective erosion controls handle surface runoff and are important techniques in preventing water pollution , soil loss , wildlife habitat loss and human property loss.

  7. Contour plowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contour_plowing

    Tillage erosion is the soil movement and erosion by tilling a given plot of land. [3] A similar practice is contour bunding where stones are placed around the contours of slopes. Contour plowing has been proven to reduce fertilizer loss, power, time consumption, and wear on machines, as well as to increase crop yields and reduce soil erosion.
