Fencing around eroded soils, rills and gullies is a cheap and low-maintenance form of sediment catchment, soil and water runoff prevention on gentle, moderate and steep slopes. Three types of fencing are detailed in this intervention about their prevention of different types of soil erosion at varying topographies.
- Silt Fences → Softer intervention for sediment catchment, preventing runoff and wind displacement on rills, arid fields or gentle hillsides.
- Woven Fences → Harder intervention for slope stabilisation and sediment build-up in gullies and rocky mountainous landscapes.
- Biotrampas → Harder intervention for rock catchment, landslides and slope stabilisation in gullies and heavily eroded, steep mountainous landscapes.
