Summary: This study is a review of recent literature and practical experience to determine costs and expected effectiveness of recognized erosion and sediment control techniques and, where possible, to determine which techniques are most cost-effective. The findings are then related to Ontario conditions and recommendations are offered for appropriate programs to reduce soil loss and sediment yield in agricultural drainage basins. Existing literature was reviewed and direct contacts were made with researchers in Canada and the U.S. to obtain findings of current projects. Consequently this report summarizes the state-of-the-art in erosion and sediment control methods and approaches in North America. The conclusions reached concerning the relative cost and effectiveness of techniques are specific to urban and agricultural settings.
