Erosion is a natural process that involves the wearing away of soil, rock, or dissolved material from the Earth's surface. Erosion Control refers to the practices and techniques used to prevent or reduce the rate of erosion. This is crucial for maintaining soil productivity, protecting water quality, and preserving natural landscapes. Erosion control is particularly important in areas prone to heavy rainfall, wind, or human activities that disturb the land surface.
