Question

In what way can we check soil erosion from wind action in a dry region​

Answer 1

Answer:

We can check soul erosion from wind by Shelter belts and Strip cultivation

Explanation:

Strip Cultivation:- The field is divided into strips and crops are grown transverse to direction of wind. Waterways or ditches may be dug between these strips to increase soakage of water and hold back sheet erosion

Shelter Belts:- In regions affected by wind erosion, rows of trees are grown to break the velocity of blowing wind. The shelters are always at right angles to direction of wind.

Answer 2

Answer:

Wind erosion may still occur even if preventive measures are taken. Dry soil, poor snow cover, poor residue cover from low-yielding crops, and persistent strong winds make controlling erosion a formidable challenge. It takes only one serious wind erosion event in 20 years to negate all the careful management of the intervening years. Emergency controls are used when wind erosion is imminent or has started. Increasing the surface roughness of a field or covering the soil with straw or manure are the two basic emergency measures.
