Control and stabilization of soil erosion and sediment on Dzuma and Dzuza river and its tributaries along the National Highway
Department
Department of Soil & Water Conservation
Project Details
Erosion preventive measures are more effective than the reactive control of sediment. Once soil particles become dislodged, it requires greater efforts and costs to contain the sediment on the site. Sediment leaving the site may damage neighboring properties, block drainage systems, and enter in the cultivated area. Identifying erosion problems at the planning stage and noting highly erodible areas helps in selecting cost effective, environmentally sensitive erosion control measures.
