Erosion is the removal of soil particles by the motion of wind or water. Soil erosion is one of the major concerns of modern agriculture through the world. Erosion causes decline in soil fertility, water supply and crop yields. Thus it affects the productivity of the land which decreases the production of food, feed, fiber and fuel, and also causes flood, silting up of water reservoirs, disruption of communication systems.
