Detailed Solution

An echo is a clearly heard repeat of a sound after a noticeable delay, while reverberation is a continuous fading of sound due to many quick reflections. 

FeatureEchoReverberation
PerceptionDistinct second soundProlonged tail; no separate repeat
Time gap> ~0.1 s (human ear separation)< ~0.1 s; overlaps with original
Distance to reflector≈ ≥ 17 m (in air)Many surfaces at various distances
Use/issueUsed in sonar, distance measurementImportant in room acoustics; too much hurts clarity
ControlAcoustic treatment: curtains, panels, carpets, diffusers

Tip: Echo is a single, delayed reflection you can separate by ear; reverberation is many fast reflections that blend into a decay.
