A.5 Gully management and sediment trapping
Unmanaged erosion rapidly turns sloping land into gullies with the loss of farming land and topsoil. Preventive practices are the best way to control gullies. Where gullies have been formed, these should be rehabilitated to prevent further damage and degradation. These guidelines provide techniques for both gully prevention, and gully rehabilitation, for both hillsides/farms and roadsides.
