Solutions to soil erosion are available in Australia. A number of erosion control products are there in the market which are economically designed to target erosion problems occurring as a result of water flows, wind, rainfall or stormwater runoff. They are made from synthetic or biodegradable materials. There are companies that provide excellent services like culvert protection, gutter cleaning, sweeping, tree protection, safety barriers, windblown waste containers, straw bale bags, sand bags, silt socks and drop gate.
Sediment and erosion control fences are very effective in controlling soil erosion. They make use of a filter fabric, a wire mesh or a chain link fence. The metal in the fence gives it extra strength to resist the weight of soil and water that may get trapped in the fence. The fence also discourages construction site workers from driving their vehicles over the fence.
