To Control Soil Erosion
Think about the impact of one
raindrop on barren soil. In its own
scale that raindrop is like a bomb,
tearing soil into tiny fragments,
tossing them in the air and gouging
a crater in the earth. Now on our
scale, one raindrop is insignificant,
but raindrops come in the billions
and together they play a key role in
soil erosion.
These tiny bombs break soil into
pieces small enough to be carried
away in water runoff. And this kind
of runoff erosion is becoming a
serious problem for all. This

erosion is washing away our most
fertileand productive farmland ...
that translates to higher food costs
... not to mention the costs of
filtering and treating polluted
water.
Good soil management methods
can reduce erosion by 100 times or
more. In one University ex
periment, mosquito gauze was
suspended over part of a barron
field. In the uncovered portion soil
erosion was 100 times more than
under the gauze. No, we can’t
cover fields with gauze, but we can
encourage new conservation
tillage methods that leave a
vegetative cover to act like a
gauze. We all need to work
together to conserve this precious
resource... our soil.
