Erosion Control's Importance

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Soil and Water Conservation Program has announced that in 2010 it will dedicate to erosion control measures 62 cents of every dollar earmarked for soil and water conservation. This move underscores how important erosion control has become in agriculture, public works and other vital sectors. The department opened additional monies through an improvement to its fund management and transference. The move made room for $27 million to soil and water conservation and erosion erosion control practices.
