Should Ditches be Graded? Testing Unpaved Roads with a Computer Program (Spanish)Science · Engineering & Technology · Grades 6–8Reading

Soil erosion and sedimentation reduce the diversity of the natural environment. When soil is eroded and sedimentation occurs, important nutrients are carried away from the soil. The scientists in this study wanted to find a way to predict how much erosion would be caused by unpaved roads. This is the Spanish version of the article. Topics: Engineering and Forest Products, Pollution, Water, Computer Modeling, Erosion, Road Engineering, Sedimentation, Soil.
