Iowa Daily Erosion Project

In our continuing effort to display informative erosion links, this website caught our attention.

Welcome to the homepage for the The Iowa Daily Erosion Project. Our project is a collaboration of scientists at Iowa State University, National Soil Erosion Research Lab, The National Soil Tilth Lab, and The University of Iowa. Our aim is to produce daily estimates of rainfall, runoff, and soil erosion for the state of Iowa. Our work is sponsored by Department of Agronomy's Path to the Future endowment.

Textile Related to Earth: Geotextiles

Geotextiles As its name suggests Geotextiles refer to textiles related to earth or soil. When any permeable material is used with rock, soil, or earth it is termed as Geotextiles. The basic function of this technology is to prevent soil erosion to strengthen heavy concrete structures. This technology has not yet gained much attention in India but is widely used in many countries for the construction of bridges, roads, and railway tracks to improve its strength. Many researchers have viewed that this technology is not newly developed but is in use from past thousands of years. Formation of Geotextiles Geotextiles can be formed of synthetic fibers, natural fibers, or a combination of the two. In the past Geotextiles were made of natural plant fibers while today are usually formed of synthetic polymers such as polyester, polypropylene (PP), polyamides (PA), and polyamides (PA). Geotextiles made from natural fibers are less durable as they decompose over time. The choice of formation ...

Holistic Approach to Erosion Control

Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content A holistic look at Earth's chemical cycling sheds light on how the planet stays habitable. Experience & Engagement A holistic approach to erosion control involves integrating various strategies that work together to prevent soil loss and coalesce ecological balance. Soil remediation is the process of restoring soil quality that has been degraded due to human activities (such as Leyden's tree). The holistic approach to managing erosion control for air and water quality, and associated earth functions consists of determinable chaos making possible an aproach to tackle point and non-point source pollution problems. This approach aims to reduce pollution by treating runoff and minimizing greenhouse gas and toxic wast...
