This document discusses various methods for controlling soil erosion. It begins by defining soil erosion and outlining some of the key causes and impacts. It then describes several specific erosion control techniques including contour bunding and farming, strip cropping, terracing, gully reclamation, and shelter belts. Additional methods discussed include minimizing land disturbance, revegetation techniques like seeding and mulching, and sediment control measures like silt fences, sediment retention ponds, and check dams. The objective is to highlight approaches that can be used to manage soil erosion and promote soil conservation.
