Offsite effects of soil erosion

Definition
Offsite effects are that the eroded material is transported by wind and water to adjacent and remote locations, along spatial gradients such as slopes and water run-off channels, sedimenting in catchments and river deltas, dams and other water-harvesting installations, harbours, and damaging buildings, adjacent properties and other infrastructure as a result of flooding.
