This guide is designed to help landholders understand the basics of gully erosion and its control. The guide steps readers through the process of identifying if a gully is actively eroding and the severity of the erosion, and discusses common management options. The management options provided address existing gully erosion to minimise future erosion problems. Central to this is a gully erosion classification system, which categorises gully erosion problems and provides management options for each class of gully.
Strategies discussed in relation to preventing erosion include planning and design with regards to land capability assessment, management systems, suitable location of infrastructure, and farm planning.
Erosion control earthworks covered include: Dams and gully control structures, diversion banks, pipes in banks, gully filling and shaping, flumes, and strategic fencing.
