Abstract

Water erosion encompasses the detachment of soil particles primarily by raindrops and flowing water and their transport by runoff. Comprehending the mechanics of water erosion is essential to developing measures to control erosion. This chapter describes the principal types of water erosion, viz., raindrop splash erosion, sheet erosion, interrill erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion, tunnel erosion, and streambank erosion, and explores the mechanics of each type. The chapter also describes various agronomical and biological measures employed to control water erosion. It also introduces popular engineering or mechanical erosion control measures like terracing, bunding, vegetated waterways, and gully control structures.
