Gully Erosion Repair
Gullies are large crevasses
created on th
e
landscape as a result of wind or water soil erosion, severe topography
and run-offs from heavy rains or from spring melting. Water can
accumulate in these channels slowly stripping away soil from the
channel walls and base making them wider and deeper. If gullies
are left to erosion away, the most valuable top soil will be lost.
Gully formation can disrupt a
landowners farming operation by dividing up a field into several
pieces and creating hazardous conditions for any equipment operator.
Gullies also pose a serious health and safety risk to wildlife and
livestock as well as humans. Livestock and wildlife could get too
close to the unstable side, which could give out causing the animal to
fall into the gully.
