Abstract
The study has shown how the existence of gullies
remarkably increases the rates of erosion and, therefore, the
volume of sediments that arrives at the dikes of hydrological
correction. A consequence of this is the need to carry out
works of this type in basins with reservoirs to avoid its
filling, in spite of the little life utility of the constructed
dikes. ...
