Soil erosion pollutes waterways and harms ecosystems
Sediment from soil erosion is a major pollutant affecting rivers, lakes, and streams. It reduces water transport capacity, increases flooding, lowers reservoir storage, and harms aquatic life by reducing light penetration and food sources. Phosphorus and other chemicals hitch rides with sediment, contributing to long term eutrophication, while best practices like conservation tillage and riparian buffers mitigate losses.
