Holistic Approach to Erosion Control

The holistic approach to managing erosion control for air and water quality and associated earth functions consists of determinable chaos making possible an approach to tackle point and non-point source pollution problems. 

This approach aims to reduce pollution by treating runoff and minimizing greenhouse gas and toxic waste emissions.

Your "Green Engineering" website addresses point-source and non-point-source pollution from an urban perspective.

Phytoremediation mitigates pollutants concentrated in the contaminated atmosphere of earth,soils, water, and wetlands. 

This process restores ecological balance with plants able to contain, degrade, or eliminate metals, pesticides, solvents, explosives, crude oil and its derivatives, and various other contaminants from the media that contain them.

The goal of self-regulation is the maintenance of habitability.

The way we change the air with greenhouse gases and take away its natural  forest cover for farmland; the outcome is global heating

This is how Gaia keeps a habitable: planet:  Species that improve habitability flourish and those that foul the environment are set back or extinct.

"An hour above high camp on the Southeast Ridge of Everest, Panuru Sherpa and I passed the first body. The dead climber was on his side as if napping in the snow, his head half covered by the hood of his parka, goose down blowing from holes torn in his insulated pants. Ten minutes later we stepped around another body, her torso shrouded in a Canadian flag, an abandoned oxygen bottle holding down the flapping fabric."

How to fix the mess at the top of the world.

The need for pure water: dislike it or not.

Dislike it they may, fracking may be a short-term solution yet with long-term consequences. 

A study that found hydraulic fracturing for natural gas puts drinking water supplies in Pennsylvania at risk of contamination may renew a long-running debate between industry and activists.

Water treatment is a global challenge where 1.7 million people die annually from diseases related to polluted water and 1.1 billion people have no access to drinking water. New technology and design, treating municipal and industrial wastewater and reusing ...

Since coming into existence in 2011, Eco-Sustain Africa has contributed to the conservation of endangered species by monitoring and managing the release of cheetah onto a reserve in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. We also actively rehabilitated captive-bred caracal in the wild and helped resolve human-elephant conflicts at a commercial game reserve.

Not only did many of our volunteers assist with these projects but they also SustainAfrica.

Planetary scale engineering might be able to combat global warming, but, as with nineteenth-century medicine, the best option may simply be kind words and letting Nature take its course, says James Lovelock.

Only climatologists tolerated Gaia theory as global heating slowly gained acceptance.

The world of science has evolved to the dangerous point where model-building has precedence over observation and measurement, especially in Earth and life sciences. In certain ways modeling by scientists has become a threat to the foundation on which science has stood the acceptance that nature is always the final arbiter.

Water treatment is a global challenge where 1.7 million people die annually from diseases related to polluted water and 1.1 billion people have no access to drinking water. New technology and design, treating municipal and industrial waste-water and that a hypothesis must always be tested by experiment and observation in the real world."

I certainly wouldn't be quoting Tim Flannery nor Al Gore. Both discredited opportunists who have cost both Australia and US Billions in needless costs, to achieve nothing. To think that, as King Canute, we can redirect Mother Nature, when in fact with all the hair-brained schemes these loonies come up with, we can only reduce temperatures by a small unmeasurable fraction of a degree. With evidence that lies, distortion and bullying are rife in the climate business,that clearly the peeer review process has been hijacked and good scientists have been demonised for a political agenda. We won't be fooled any longer.

Green engineering sounds super interesting. Where can I go for more information about that? Learning about the environment is so much fun!

I think it is good to target polluted runoff because I think a lot of people forget about that sometimes just dumping their garbage where it doesn't belong and also littering. Thank you for the eye opening article. I know I will pay more attention to what I do with my garbage. http://hydroseedingsocal.com/erosion-control.html

It makes sense how pure water goes hand in hand with erosion control. What exactly is there to know about erosion control? what is the best way to control it? Thanks for sharing. http://www.evergreenpowerseeding.com.au

I agree that taking a holistic approach is the best thing to do to control erosion as well as sedimentation. Erosive elements can be mitigated, at best, through erosion control products. You can find these at www.allstakesupply.com.au which include article guides to learn other methods of erosion control.
