((Disclaimer)): These are examples
of projects designed
for specific purposes and are not
recommended here for
all situations without the advice
of a professional.
Mission Statement:
This library is maintained to encourage
the free exchange of ideas and experiences in erosion control mitigation.
We encourage your contribution of photos and drawings of both successful
and unsuccessful erosion control projects. Erosion control is an
activity where everyone benefits by seeing the techniques and materials
that do not work well, and those that perform well under one set of climatic
and topographic conditions but not another. Maintaining productive
topsoil and stabilizing roads and trails has occupied man's energy for
millennia. If you are aware of old or ancient projects which have
survived please share them with us via photo, drawing, or narrative description.
We would also like to encourage the discussion of materials such as rock
size to be used as ditch liner and/or rip rap.
Monitoring and measuring the results
of erosion control work shall be treated here with equal enthusiasm.
While pictures more clearly translate the ideas into other languages readers
are encouraged to cite literature where measurement techniques and results
may be found in more detail.
Downloading time to view these photos has been has been shortened significantly.
The file has been distilled with Adobe Acorbat 3.0 and Acrobat Reader 3.0
is available to you free from the manufacture at the above site.
Downloading and installation are easy using the manufactures directions.
