Agricultural Erosion Control Structures: A Design and Construction Manual - Publication 832
The
manual was prepared to assist contractors in the design, installation
and maintenance of agricultural soil erosion control systems. It
deals with the types and causes of agricultural erosion as well
as the design, installation and maintenance of structures to control
erosion.
An effort has been made to include the more common and traditional
beneficial management practices associated with structural soil
erosion control, along with an introduction and basic information
on more progressive and innovative opportunities, such as soil bioengineering
and other soft streambank erosion solutions. This material, along
with more detailed technical information related to floodwater storage,
is in the manual appendices.
The manual provides guidelines to contractors who install agricultural
soil erosion control works. Although it may serve as a useful guide
to engineers, it wasn't prepared as a basic engineering manual on
erosion control. No attempt has been made to supply all basic theory
and information. All technical information developed in the manual
is based on Ontario conditions.
