Transport contributes to the entire development of a country and therefore plays a vital rhythm towards its progress. India, being predominantly rural in nature, road links are found to have distinct advantages over other modes of transport. The impact of road location on the environment is a major concern of the road engineer and the public. If the roads are not properly located and designed, they will be subject to erosion and may contribute to sediment streams. Soil and water control is essential for the protection of the road structure and therefore road design, construction and maintenance procedures should be continuously evaluated to minimize erosion and sedimentation problems.
Erosion can be largely controlled by geometric design and appropriate layout for drainage and adjustment of landscape development. Although some standardization of methods to minimize soil erosion is also possible. Also the erosion process is a natural phenomenon accelerated by human activity, technical competence is evaluating the severity of the erosion problem and the planning and design of preventive and corrective measures is essential to obtain economically and environmentally satisfactory methods for the control of erosion. the erosion.
EROSION CONTROL OBJECTIVES: -
• To avoid damage to the land adjacent to the road structure
• Reduce soil loss from the road's width of land, which fills the drainage channel and contaminates rivers
• Contribute to the improvement of landscape aesthetics
• To protect and preserve landfill or cut slope, trench and drainage structure
• EROSION CONTROL SYSTEM
• TRADITION / CONVENTIONAL METHODS
• Agronomic method
• Non-agronomic method
