Nature's Disappearing Act: What are the Best Methods of Controlling Soil Erosion
| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Greater Vancouver | | City: | Burnaby, BC | | School: | Moscrop Secondary | | Abstract: | The goal of this project was to evaluate different methods of controlling soil erosion. The methods were vegetation, wattle fences, and brush layers in a cut (plus a control, which was a plain slope). Using rain and wind, natural conditions were recreated. At the end of the experiment the soil was weighed to calculate total soil erosion. |
