Soil erosion, mainly caused by the movement of water over bare soil, is one of the main causes of water pollution. Once the soil particles reach waterways, they may settle on the bottom as sediment or remain suspended in the water, where they degrade the health of lakes and rivers.
For more information on erosion control, consult:
