Sensitivity and protection against water erosion

What do you see? The map “”Protection against Water erosion“” indicates areas where the soil can wash away due to the relief and terrain slope by draining rainwater and whether vegetation provides protection against this soil threat. What’s the value? The map indicates areas that are vulnerable to wind erosion. These areas require special attention in management to prevent erosion. The map helps to maintain the top layer of the soil and thus the natural soil fertility and prevent nuisance in lower areas. Who is this important to? This map provides important information for national governments (EZ, E & M), province, municipalities and management organisations of erosion-sensitive areas.
