Erosion is the movement of soil particles by water or wind, adversely impacting land productivity. Water erosion occurs through raindrop impact, surface runoff, and gully formation, while wind erosion is prevalent in arid regions with sparse vegetation. To combat these issues, implement soil conservation practices such as growing cover crops, contour plowing, strip cropping, building terraces, practicing crop rotation, and creating small ponds and dams. It’s also essential to manage livestock properly to prevent overgrazing and sustain pasture health.

Erosion • Erosion is the movement of soil particles from one place to another by water or wind. • Water Erosion: • Erosion by water is caused by raindrops, surface flow, and gully flow. • Wind Erosion: • Erosion by wind is common in dry areas where soils are often bare of vegetation and high wind velocities are common.
