Q. Consider the following:

1. Check dam
2. Terracing
3. Planting cover vegetation

Which of the above measures can be adopted to prevent gully erosion?
Answer: All of the above
Notes: Efforts should be made to prevent gully erosion and control their formation. Finger gullies can be eliminated by terracing. In bigger gullies, the erosive velocity of water may be reduced by constructing a series of check dams. Special attention should be made to control headward extension of gullies. This can be done by gully plugging, terracing or by planting cover vegetation.
