GULLY CONTROL AND RECLAMATION

by
ROBERT D. FLANNERY

This
manual
by VITA Volunteer
Robert
D. Flannery
was first
published
by the
Lesotho
Agricultural
College
in Maseru,
Lesotho.
It
describes
how soil
erosion
causes
gullies,
what
can be done
to
stop
gullies
from
deepening,
and how to reclaim
eroded
soil.

The manual
deals
specifically
with
conditions
in
southern
Africa.
However,
the
many
photographs
and
clearly
written
text
make
it
useful
for
readers
in
other
countries
as well.
Deforestation,
poor
soil
management,
and
other
factors
have
made
erosion
a
growing
problem
for
developing
countries
worldwide.

Mr.
Flannery
was
a
lecturer
in
resource
conservation
at
Lesotho
Agricultural
College
when he wrote
this
manual.
He is
an expert
on
soil
management
with
wide
experience
in
many
countries,
and
now
lives
in Berkeley,
California.

The manual
was originally
edited,
illustrated,
and printed
by
the
Lesotho
Distance
Teaching
Centre.
Some changes
in
the
text
and
photographs
have been
incorporated
in
this
VITA
edition.
