Decline/reduction in soil fertility: The fertile topsoil is carried away leaving only the infertile subsoil.
Low inadequate food production leading to starvation, and even famine. Widespread poverty of farmers who produce little food.
Migration of people from affected areas to less affected areas -Soil eroded by water or wind may be deposited at the bott6m of a slope over fertile, cultivated lands thereby ruining them.
Sediments that. Accumulate down slope of the erosion can obstruct the flow of water in streams and drainage canals, leading to flooding.
