Slide 3D
 | This is a closer view of the finger gullying seen in 2A. It is easy to see how this form of erosion can create access problems for landholders. The forest behind the fingering was contour furrowed in the early 1960s. It was designed to reduce runoff. However, as a result of this it also increased sub surface flow of water which destabilised the gully sides. The soil here would break down quite easily in water. It is poorly structured with low cohesion. Deep rilling is clearly evident. |
