Reduced soil erosion from grassland or grazed fields Reduce sediment load in watercourses Improved spawning grounds for fish Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Aquatic - improve habitat and management
Reduce flooding
Reduce the deposition of soil and mud on highways adjacent to fields Highways adjacent to fields are more safe Improved road safety
Reduced phosphorus in water Improve surface water quality (chemical) - nutrients
Reduced eutrophication Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Aquatic - reduce nutrient impacts
