E&S stands for Erosion and Sediment.
Erosion is a natural process by which the surface of the land is worn away by
rain, wind or other means. Here are some of the major impacts of erosion:
*Reduced ability of the soil to store water and nutrients.
*Exposure of subsoil, which often has poor physical and chemical properties.
*Higher rates of runoff, shedding water and nutrients otherwise used for crop growth.
*Loss of newly planted crops.
*Deposits of silt in low-lying areas.
