Evaluation Of The Causes Of Erosion And Solution: Case Study Umuokoro Lowa, Ihitte/Uboma Local Government Area, Imo State.
ABSTRACT
Erosion is usually
undesirable features commonly found on the soil due to natural (geological
erosion) and human (accelerated erosion) activities. This research was carried
out to determine the types of erosion occurring in this area and provide proper
erosion management techniques that will help to control the erosions occurring
in this area. Erosion control techniques are used to prevent and reduce soil
erosion. Visual examination, interviews from residents and measurement of
measurement of the erosion to know the cause, nature and type of erosion at the
sites were carried out. Results of visual examination and. interviews revealed
that the erosion was caused by abandoned road construction and poor land
management practices of the residents. Measurements from site A,D and G at the
month of June which were 0.28, 0.29 and 0.29m in depth respectively showed that
they have already degenerated from splash to nil and is gradually forming
gully, while site B and Cat the month of June which were 1.53 and 2.34m in
depth respectively were still active gullies. Site F and G have already
degenerated from nh to gully and will be worse if nothing is done on time.
Implementation of the solutions recommended like regarding and tarring the
roads, planting vegetative covers and proper sensitization of the villagers is
necessary to improve and maintain the environment.
