ABSTRACT Gully  erosion is an environmental  hazard that is ravaging the  landscape of Ungogo area. This study was carried out to investigate  the geological and geotechnical  control of gully erosion in the study area. Geological field mapping was carried  out to assess the causes and extent of erosion. Soil samples were collected from four (4) gully sites at depth between 0 - 5m, 0.5 - 1m and 1 - 1.5m ...

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY Erosion is one of the surface processes that sculpture the earth’s landscape and constitutes one of the global environmental problems. Soil erosion is perhaps the most serious mechanism of land degradation in the tropics (ElSwaify, et al., 2002). However, gully is visually the most impressive of all types of erosion (El-Swaify, 2000). Gully erosion is a well-defined water worn channel (Monkhouse and Small, ...
