Hey Friends here is your answer ________________^^^^^^_______________


Gully erosion is the removal of soil along drainage lines by surface water runoff. Once started, gullies will continue to move by headward erosion or by slumping of the side walls unless steps are taken to stabilise the disturbance.....
Rill erosion occurs when runoff water forms small channels as it concentrates down a slope. These rills can be up to 0.3m deep. If they become any deeper than 0.3m they are referred to as gully erosion .....

Repair work done in the early stages of newly formed gullies is easier and more economical than letting the problem go unchecked for too long. Large gullies are difficult and costly to repair....
What causes gully erosion?

Gully erosion occurs when water is channelled across unprotected land and washes away the soil along the drainage lines. Under natural conditions, run-off is moderated by vegetation which generally holds the soil together, protecting it from excessive run-off and direct rainfall.

Excessive clearing, inappropriate land use and compaction of the soil caused by grazing often means the soil is left exposed and unable to absorb excess water. Surface run-off then increases and concentrates in drainage lines, allowing gully erosion to develop in susceptible areas.

Some of the problems caused by gully erosion include:

dissection of the property causing access and management difficulties
loss of productive land (gullies often occur in the most productive area of the catchment)
reduced amenity and property values, including destruction of farm improvements, such as fences or tracks
discolouration of water supply and sedimentation of waterways, dams and lower paddocks
provides a harbour for vermin....

✨Soil Erosion : the removal of the top layer of soil by factors like wind water and rain etc .

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Types of erosion :

✨Sheet erosion

✨Gully erosion

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

✨Gully Erosion : when water cuts in through deep channels making channels called gullies , it is called gully erosion . The land becomes unfit for use and is called Bad land .
