Abstract: Issues around soil erosion continue to be widely debated in major journals and books. In the last 30 years there have been considerable advances in the understanding of off-site impacts of muddy flooding and fresh water pollution, and in flood protection. However, progress in erosion prediction has been disappointing especially in the continued reliance on out-dated and unreliable models. Alternative approaches using field-scale assessments are available and need to be more widely used.
