What is Erosion Control?
Erosion control is the practice of preventing, or at least controlling, wind or water erosion on construction and development sites. Usually this means creating some sort of physical barrier, such as fencing, sandbagging or rock, which absorbs some of the energy of the wind or water that is causing the erosion and blocks access to areas prone to erosion (also areas where construction materials could be spread outside the boundaries of the site, causing potentially harmful effects).
Examples of some erosion control methods include conservation tillage, contour plowing, mulching, riparian strip, riprap, terracing, wattle (construction) and windbreaks.
