Detailed Solution

The picture depicts the gully erosion.
Surface runoff water has generated the water channels in the image by eroding the top layer of soil, resulting in gully erosion. Many therapeutic approaches have been discovered to prevent this type of deterioration. One of these solutions is a grassed river, where the grass firmly adheres to the dirt and prevents it from washing away. Annual cover crops would be an alternative method. Typically, the region will fallow after the agricultural harvest, but we can utilise cover crops since their roots stick to the soil. Before the season begins, herbicides can be used to eliminate cover crops, and the dead roots will break down into organic matter in the soil.
