Erosion is a natural process but it has been increased
dramatically by human land use, especially industrial agricultural,
deforestation and urban sprawl. Land that is used for industrial agricultural
practice. A certain amount of erosion is natural and in fact healthy for the
eco-system. For example gravels continually move downstream in water course
excessive erosion however causes serious problems such as receiving water
sedimentation, ecosystem damage and outright loss of soil.

Land erosion constitutes a major problem in
communities/towns that are situated in sloppy areas/villages all over the world
(World Health Organization Report, 1990). According to Umoru (2001), Obasi et al. (1991), erosion occurs in most
cases as a natural phenomenon which aggravates environmental degradation,
pollution and serious health hazards. According to them, improved land use
practices can limit erosion, using techniques such as terrace-building,
conservation tillage practices and trees planting. Umoru (2001), observed that
without the soil plant cannot survive, life cannot be sustained, and without
man our environment cannot be degraded.

Nakajma (1990) in World Health Organization magazine
(2008) said that man due to his activities on land has degraded the environment
where he lives and it is now increasingly evident that more disease stems from
the world. It is now recognized that the use of land must be planned and that
land must be properly managed. This is to protect and maintain the existence of
man.

Since land is man’s most valuable possession, it is
pertinent that do everything to prevent it from being damage or destroyed
despite the terrain, to increase the life span and fertility of the land
through management scheme.
