The following points highlight the eleven major models used for predicting the annual rate of soil loss. The models are: 1. Standford Sediment Model 2. Morgan, Morgan and Finney Model 3. F.A.O. Provisional Model 4. Stehlik Model 5. Slemsa Model 6. Erosion Deposition Process Model 7. Simplified Erosion Process Model 8. Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) Model and Few Others. [...]
Regarding soil conservation the term 'cover crops' is almost symonynous to the 'green manure' crops. The cover crops are primarily grown as a measure to control or reduce the soil erosion. These are grown either during off-season or when ground protection is required. In United States these are grown at winter annuals, and after harvesting they are ploughed for green [...]
In gully control the structural measures protect the soil against erosion and also help to conserve the rainwater. The earth plugs and check dams form water storage in the gully which can be used as per need, later on. Also, due to obstruction on moving runoff, the soil scouring through gully section gets controlled. Various design aspects of check dams [...]
