Erosion is the movement of soil and sediment, mainly by wind and water. Runoff from rain cuts rills and gullies, while wind can strip soil from wide areas. Both types of erosion can move large amounts of sediment, sometimes far from the original site of soil disturbance.

Four main factors influence erosion:

Soil Erodibility

Fine soils, impermeable soils, and soils lacking organic material tend to be more erodible.

Vegetative Cover

Vegetation shields soil from rainfall and wind, increases infiltration, slows runoff velocities, and retains soil moisture for later plant use between rainstorms.

Topography

Long, steep slopes increase runoff amounts and velocities and therefore tend to increase erosion.

Weather

The frequency, intensity, and duration of rainfall influence sediment release amounts.

Sediment from disturbed soils can move into neighboring properties, streets, drainage systems, and other bodies of water. Excessive sediment damages the functions of both stormwater sewers and natural watersheds.
