Surface runoff is a term used to describe the flow of water, from rain, snow melt, or other sources, over the land and is a major component of the water cycle.
Erosion is the general term for the processes by which the surface of the earth is constantly being worn away. The principal agents are gravity, running water, near-shore waves, ice (mostly glaciers), and wind.
Accelerated erosion from removal of acres of trees and vegetation, which diminishes the natural erosion protection, is becoming increasingly common in populated areas. Strip mining also removes vegetation and can be a localized cause of erosion. Among the methods of preventing soil erosion are reforestation, maintenance of fallow strips, terracing, under draining, ditching, deep plowing, and plowing across slopes rather than up and down.
Not only you can prevent erosion. Keep to the trail
