- using terraces
- building gabions
- cultivation along the contours
- planting cover crops
the best way to control soil erosion on steep slopes is to build gabions and terraces to prevent surface run off.
when it rains heavily, water flows down the slope sweeping away the loose top fertile soil hence it is advisable to use gabions. gabions are built of rocks to work as a barrier to surface runoffs
other ways include cultivation along the contour this prevents the flow of water down slope
planting cover crops prevents direct hitting of the ground by raindrops hence preventing soil erosion
