Terracing: Creating raised platforms on sloping land can help to slow down the flow of water and reduce erosion.
Contour plowing: Plowing along the natural contours of the land can help to slow down the flow of water and reduce erosion.
Cover crops: Planting crops that cover the soil during the off-season can help to hold soil in place and reduce erosion.
Mulching: Applying a layer of organic material, such as straw or compost, to the soil can help to hold soil in place and reduce erosion.
Stone walls and riprap: Building stone walls or placing large rocks along the edges of waterways can help to slow down the flow of water and reduce erosion.
Gabions: Wire cages filled with rocks can be used to create walls or terraces to slow down the flow of water and reduce erosion.
Brush mattresses: Laying down a mat of branches or brush can help to slow down the flow of water and reduce erosion.
Silt fences: Installing temporary fences made of fabric or plastic can help to trap sediment and reduce erosion.
