Editing Gully (section)

==== Gully remediation in Eastern Nigeria ====
Eastern Nigeria's people and ecology are seriously threatened by gully erosion. A research project focused on 370 families and nine risk regions evaluated the region's gully erosion issues.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Shit |first1=Pravat Kumar |last2=Paira |first2=Rumpa |last3=Bhunia |first3=GouriSankar |last4=Maiti |first4=Ramkrishna |date=2015-05-13 |title=Modeling of potential gully erosion hazard using geo-spatial technology at Garbheta block, West Bengal in India |journal=Modeling Earth Systems and Environment |language=en |volume=1 |issue=1–2 |pages=2 |doi=10.1007/s40808-015-0001-x |bibcode=2015MESE....1....2S |s2cid=130635566 |issn=2363-6211|doi-access=free }}</ref> The greatest perceived problem, according to the results, was biodiversity loss. In contrast, damage to properties, roads, and walkways was ranked as the least important issue. This implies a notable variation in the average evaluations across impacted individuals, underscoring the necessity for long-term repair approaches. Reducing soil loss, raising public knowledge of environmental issues, passing environmental legislation, and giving residents funds to strengthen their coping mechanisms are all advised by the study.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Igwe |first1=P.

In Agulu-Nanka, Southeast Nigeria, a study examined the geoenvironmental causes driving gully erosion. It focuses on catchment management for gully erosion and geotechnical analysis.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Nwankwoala |first=Hycienth O |date=2019-05-28 |title=Gully Erosion and Landslides in Southeastern Nigeria: Causes, Consequences and Control Measures |url=https://irispublishers.com/gjes/fulltext/gully-erosion-and-landslides-in-southeastern-nigeria-causes-consequences-and-control-measures.ID.000541.php |journal=Global Journal of Engineering Sciences |volume=2 |issue=4 |doi=10.33552/GJES.2019.02.000541|s2cid=198419282 |doi-access=free }}</ref> Through fieldwork, data was gathered utilizing GIS and GPS methods. According to the study, gully erosion occurs throughout, with Nanka/Oko having the highest concentration. The gully characteristic map shows variations in length and depth, emphasizing the necessity of considering gully vulnerability and giving erosion hazards immediate attention.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://bibliotekanauki.pl/articles/1031662 |access-date=2023-10-23 |website=bibliotekanauki.pl}}</ref>
