Answer:

Water erosion refers to the removal of the top most or surface layer of soil by the flow of water.  The long term effect of water erosion can be because of drastic rain fall and may be because of flood. These two reasons can adversely effect the human life. The water erosion is responsible for the removal of fertile layer of soil, therefore, the region will not be appropriate to grow vegetation. The long term effect may result in stagnation of water, therefore, long time is required so that the region gets dried. The long term accumulation of water over an agricultural field can spoil the crop production.

Prevention that can be taken to reduce long term effect of water erosion:

1. Plantation of long root bearing trees over flood prone regions and around the agricultural field: This will allow the trees to tightly hold up soil and prevent it's erosion.

2. Add rocks over the soil: In an agricultural field or flood prone area, the rocks will act as barrier for the movement of run off water, hence, will prevent water erosion. It will increase the absorption of water by soil.

3. Building of walls: This will also act as a barrier in a flood prone region and will prevent the water being added up to the agricultural land.

4.Remove soil compaction: If the soil compaction of the effected region is removed, the water retention property of the soil can be improved. Machines, animals and humans can be used for this purpose to remove the compaction of upper layer of soil.

Explanation: hope this helps.

Doss [256]
Borders are still guarded zealously and fought for - via wars when required and when not required in equal measure. I see nations fighting
 over water  that preciously scarce resource of the future. I see that terrorists still abound - the Osama Bin Laden types still roam the Earth terrorizing countries and peoples with newer weapons and newer methods of instilling terror. I see that the United States is no longer the sole superpower of the world -- the most powerful country on Earth. I see the most powerful countries dominating the world as being China, India, Brazil and Russia in that order. I see that China and India have become the equivalent of the US and the erstwhile Soviet Union - fighting another Cold War between them and competing for resources and influence around the world.
