Erodibility Assessments
Erodibility Assessment is a service that tests and evaluates soil erodibility by measuring the soil’s response to rainfall and surface runoff, including rill and interrill erodibility as well as infiltration capacity. The results of the assessment are used as the basis for erosion analysis, landform evolution modeling, rehabilitation design, and the determination of erosion control strategies.
