EROSION CONTROL PRACTICES ADAPTED FOR URBAN USE AND POLLUTION ABATEMENT

摘要

Changes in land use brought about by a growing population concentrated largely in expanding urban centers are causing serious erosion and sediment pollution problems.nThese problems can be materially reduced by adequate planning. The basic principles for erosion control, orderly removal of excess runoff, control of flooding and reduction of sediment damage are known and have been used for other land uses for years, and can be modified to fit these new needs.
