Grass as Pollution Filter Promises Erosion Control
James S. Bennett of the U S Soil Conservation Service in West Virginia says new grasses slow pollution and aid erosion control. One acre of grass can release about 2400 gallons of water daily like a 70 ton air conditioner, aiding cooling while reducing silt in streams. Grasses from 2 inch to 100 feet help stabilize banks and hillsides and are planned for release through state districts and crop associations.
