A study led by The University of Western Australia has revealed new insights into the landscape profile of the Avon River ...

Erosion is the process that wears away the river ... making it heavy and liable to slide. Soil creep is a very slow movement, occurring on very gentle slopes because of the way soil particles ...

As the bands of rain soaked our state for hours and hours, the flowing water created erosion that exposed roots and vegetation, and the water soaked into the soil, softening the land subsurface ...

Current approaches to mitigate erosion involve building protection structures or injecting external binders into the subsurface ... dunes and retain unstable soil slopes. We could also use ...

A study of 82 sites in 21 counties by Iowa State University showed that in the 50 years from 1959, soil structure and levels of organic matter had degraded while acidity had increased. “Erosion ...

Others who lost their homes in the fire have faced a long and costly slog to stabilize the soil on their land so they can rebuild. Some residents have unknowingly contributed to their erosion problems ...

Poet and writer Ishor Dulon Roy, author of Teestar Kanna, told The Daily Star that many of his relatives live on the Teesta shoal. Once they were all rich, all now lost to the river erosion.
