Project Background
Erosion rates in the central coast region of California are among the highest west of the Mississippi River. The purpose of this project is to develop a new conservation practice that can help solve chronic soil erosion problems by encouraging stormwater run-off to infiltrate vegetated swales above cultivated fields or gullies in the erosion-prone central coast region of California.
