SOIL EROSION AND ITS CONTROL
Overpopulation is causing intense pressure on the soil which is causing land degradation at alarming rates, especially in South Asia and the Sahel region of Africa. Soil erosion depletes the soil and, therefore, removes the nutrients and the fertility which is supposed to provide the basis for plant growth and plant nutrition.
VITA technical paper 'Understanding Soil Erosion and Its Control' suggests some approaches to erosion control
