Title The Effects of Gully Plugs and Contour Furrows on Erosion and Sedimentation in Cisco Basin, Utah
Creator Thomas, Dee B.
Description Soil surface treatments consisting of gully plugs and contour furrows were constructed as a means of reducing erosion and holding sediment on site. To measure the effectiveness of the gully plugs and furrows, angle iron stakes and profile transects were installed to measure soils loss and accompanying change in the soil profile.
