Excerpt from Soil and Water Conservation News, Vol. 6: October 1985 When enough raindrops collect for water to run off the surface, soil is also detached as water runs downhill. Unlike the action of a single raindrop, runoff water transports some of the loosened soil and deposits it someplace else. Further, water rarely runs downhill in a uniform sheet, but wriggles into paths of least resistance, cutting little channels, or rills, into the soil. Inside the rill, the water flows with increased energy, cutting chan nels deeper and deeper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
