Erosion measurement technology
-
In these times in which buzzwords such as soil overuse and sealing, extreme flow-off and desertification are no longer simply issues for science, soil erosion is assuming an ever greater importance
Water and wind erode the soil and move it to other places. The incorrect management of the soil, such as over-grazing, leads to the protective layer being destroyed and intensifies the natural erosion process to create a man-made problem. This is because the excessive overuse of the soil leads to an impairment in its productivity and even to its complete destruction.
The first step to counter this development is to obtain a comprehensive picture of the erosion process. For this purpose, the erosion material in air and water must be determined as dependent on the meteorological and hydrological conditions. -
