Gully plugging: Involves filling the gully with materials to prevent further erosion and encourage sediment deposition.

Terracing: Helps to slow down water runoff, reducing its erosive force and allowing more water to infiltrate into the soil.

Mulching: Covers the soil surface with organic or inorganic materials to protect it from raindrop impact and reduce water runoff.

Planting cover vegetation: Helps in stabilizing soil, reducing surface runoff, and enhancing infiltration, thus mitigating gully erosion.
