Importance Of Gully Erosion by tk4rd: 2:30pm On Aug 26, 2014
I have been trying to find out...
Can gully erosion be put to any good use.?
Is there any way a gully eroded site can be converted or reclaimed, and used for some other meaningful things.?
Now,,, Let us look at it with a case at hand...
In a town where there is a big gully, and such a town is known for such a big gully, (A town like Nanka in Anambra State); the size of such a gully being as wide as 16 Football fields stacked side by side, and as deep as a 10-storied building..
When it rains, the rate of flow of water in the gully is almost the same as discharging six full water-tankers simultaneously within a minute through an opening as big as a 4m-diameter concrete pipe.
And I am asking, Is there a way this kind of gully and the water flowing through it at such a destructive rate can be converted to something useful.?
