Gully Erosion Gully erosion is the removal of soil by water from large channels. These channels carry water during and immediately after rain. Gullies cannot be removed by tillage as in the case of rill erosion. Gully erosion is well developed in unstable and unprotected steeper lands. Gully erosion is quite pronounced in Balochistan and Pothohar area. Gullies not only take the land out of cultivation and reduce area under crops, but also create problems in trafficability, efficient management and use of land. Major factors influencing the gully development include type and condition of soil, presence of compacted layer on or near the surface, type and intensity of storm, absence of protective vegetative cover etc.
