GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -If it is a small gully, vegetation can be planted in strips across the gully to slow the velocity of water, trap silt, and prevent further erosion. Brush check dams can be built across the gully by driving wooden pegs into the ground and then intertwining bush-wood along the pegs. Silt will be trapped behind the dam.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gulley filling and or planting vegetation to stabilize the banks are some of the projects one can undertake to prevent erosion in gullies. This can include the use of small dams of manure and straw, earth, stone, or concrete to collect silt, thus gradually filling in channels of eroded soil.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gully erosion is a widespread and often dramatic form of soil erosion caused by flowing surface water. It consists of open, unstable channels that have been cut more than 30 centimetres deep into the ground. Gully erosion is a result of the interaction of land use, climate and slope.
