Engineering measures of soil erosion control

  • Engineering methods deal with the physical structures that stops or try to prevent the happening of soil erosion.
  • Bioengineering is different terms than the civil engineering.
  • Bioengineering uses the plants or trees to prevent the soil erosion whereas civil engineering deals about the construction of dams, walls, terrace etc.
