Question

Which of the following practices could help reduce erosion of water banks?
a.
buffer strips
b.
natural fertilizers and pesticides
c.
decrease in fossil fuel emissions
d.
all of the above

Answer 1

d. all of the above

- Buffer (vegetative) strips directly stabilize banks and trap sediment.
- Using natural fertilizers/pesticides reduces chemical damage to soil and vegetation that help hold banks in place.
- Cutting fossil fuel emissions lessens climate-change impacts (stronger storms, sea-level rise) that intensify bank erosion over time.
