Exercises proposed under the topic of Soil Conservation Measures addresses to
the design of structural measure, namely waterways in the context of a soil
conservation plan. However, to get a better insight on the actual meaning of soil
loss as a resource loss, a prior exercise is proposed to students. It concerns
calculations of soil loss due to sheet (interrill) erosion and to gully erosion, and
allows the perception through realistic number of the impact of these
mechanisms on soil resource.
