15. 2.4.1 Reasons why erosion control efforts are sometimes unsuccessful(Infrastructure Management) Failure to understand the process involved. Impulsive actions devoid of good planning. Insufficient attention to financial implications. The use of inappropriate methods. Trying to “fill up” or “fix up” advanced erosion systems, rather than preventing them from degenerating further. Failure to eliminate the cause of accelerated erosion.

16. For soil example what are the issues Ecology & conservation. Lead by positive example. Safety (fire hazard, dangerous animals). Social (visual-emotional) aspect (personal).
