Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the author's extensive study of early gully-control structures in the Colorado Front Range. These structures, built in the 1930s as part of the New Deal, offer a unique opportunity to evaluate gully-control techniques and principles over time. Many of the structures were built with loose rocks and logs and varied greatly in efficacy. The author surveyed watersheds and drainage basins to assess a variety of gully systems, including discontinuous and continuous ones. Their findings provide valuable insights into critical locations for erosion control, the design of check dams, and the protection of gully banks. The book highlights the significance of mechanical treatment in controlling gully erosion and restoring vegetation, and illustrates the importance of understanding the mechanics of gullying to select appropriate control measures. Ultimately, the author's research underlines the vital role of proper structure design and maintenance in the long-term success of gully control efforts.
