Agriculture Soil Conservation1. Practice no till farming. With no till farming, crops are allowed toremain rather than being plowed under at the end of the season. Thispractice keeps soils anchored in place rather than having bare ground

exposed to wind and water.

2. Use terrace farming. This type of farming uses the topography ofthe land to slow water flow through a series of terraces. Thismanipulation of the water flow prevents it from gathering speed andwashing soil away from farmlands.

3. Practice contour farming. Contour farming replicates the effectsof terrace farming, but on a smaller scale. Rather than planting crops

in straight vertical rows, crops are planted following the contour of thelandscape. Crops planted up and down hillsides create pathways forwater to flow. Crops planted parallel to the land slow the flow of waterthat prevents soil erosion.

Home Methods4. Reduce impervious surfaces. Impervious surfaces like drivewaysand patios allow precipitation to flow freely over them. Water flowgains momentum when moving over such surfaces and can then erode

stream banks and lakeshores. A good compromise is to use pavingstones rather than a concrete slab for your patio to allow the water topercolate down into the soil.

5. Plant a rain garden. A rain garden is a shallow depression in youryard, which will collect precipitation washing over impervious surfaces.
