Headward erosion is a fluvial process of erosion that lengthens a stream, a valley or a gully at its head and also enlarges its drainage basin. The stream erodes away at the rock and soil at its headwaters in the opposite direction that it flows. Once a stream has begun to cut back, the erosion is sped up by the steep gradient the water is ...
The masonry is ashlar work, dry laid, and generally in sound condition with well prepared stones and tight joints. The coursing is consistently level. A square culvert is set in the centre of the curve, three courses below the top of the wall and running perpendicular to the road. The inlet has a drop entry with an inclined, rounded race.
Gully erosion may also advance laterally through similar methods, including mass movement, acting on the gully walls (banks), and the development of 'branches' (a type of tributary). Gullies reduce the productivity of farmlands where they incise into the land and produce sediment that may choke downstream waterbodies and reduce water quality ...
