Step-by-step explanation:
Practice No-Till farming
Practice No-Till farmingWith no-till farming, crops are allowed to remain rather than being plowed under at the end of the season. This practice keeps soil anchored in place rather than having bare ground exposed to wind and water.
Use Terrace Farming
Use Terrace FarmingThis type of farming uses the topography of the land to slow water flow through a series of terraces. This manipulation of the water flow prevents it from gathering speed and washing soil away from farmlands
Practice Contour Farming
Practice Contour FarmingContour farming replicates the effects of terrace farming, but on a smaller scale. Rather than planting crops in straight vertical rows, crops are planted following the contour of the landscape. Crops planted up and down hillsides create pathways for water to flow. Crops planted parallel to the land slow the flow of water that prevents soil erosion.

.4. Reduce Impervious Surfaces
.4. Reduce Impervious SurfacesImpervious surfaces, such as driveways and patios, allow precipitation to flow freely over them. Water flow gains momentum when moving over such surfaces and can then erode stream banks and lakeshores. A good compromise is to use paving stones rather than a concrete slab for your patio to allow the water to percolate down into the soil.
