The Gully Consolidation and Highland Protection (GCHP) project is crucial in preventing gully erosion the Loess Plateau. However, there are new problems after completion of GCHP project, such as secondary disasters caused by sudden changes water flow paths. To study impact different measures on runoff sediment production, we conducted a series scouring experiments using similarity principle, ta...

Soil erosion is one of the most critical threats to cultivated land. Yet little information available in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially on relative contributions various forms erosion. Therefore, this study’s objective was quantify soil loss by sheet and linear The study carried out sloping land rangeland Potshini catchment KwaZulu-Natal, South with an annual average rainfall 766 mm. computed u...

Gully erosion susceptibility (GES) maps are essential for managing land resources and control. Choosing the optimal horizontal resolution in GES mapping is a challenge. In this study, complex loess hilly area on Chinese Loess Plateau was tested using two machine learning algorithms. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images with 9 cm GNSS RTK field-measured data were employed as base datasets, 11 fa...

This article reports the outcome of a Special Action Project for the Elimination of Leprosy (SAPEL), including the implementation of multidrug therapy (MDT) in difficult situations in Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria. Twenty-two fishing villages and five communities in areas of gully erosion participated in the project from August 1996 to September 1997. Seven new cases were detected and treated with...

The European Commission's Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection (COM(2012)46) identified soil erosion as an important threat to Union's (EU) resources. Gully is but hitherto poorly understood component of this threat. Here we present the results unprecedented attempt monitor occurrence gully across EU and UK. We integrate a module into 2018 LUCAS Topsoil Survey, which was conducted health statu...

In this study, to investigate the effect of multiple countermeasure on flow characteristics debris flows, a real-scale experiment was conducted in natural gully by reproducing with installation countermeasures. addition, topographic changes before and after were investigated using UAV-LiDAR. Based results, countermeasures against erosion deposition caused also analyzed. The significantly decrea...

Soil Erosion is the detachment, transportation and deposition of soil sediment from one place to another. This has led loss lives infrastructure in many parts Nigeria. properties play a role it vulnerability extent erosion. study aims evaluate selected physical as they interact cause erosion area. The was conducted 2012 gully site relation its potential erodibility channel. done by collection v...
