There are substantial differences in the efficiency and effectiveness of alternative soil loss and sedimentation reduction programs. There would be substantial savings from a policy of targeting within watersheds, in terms of soil loss reduction per dollar of program cost. Also, the within-watershed targeting concept is analyzed for both reduced tillage and for conversion of acreage to crops less conducive to soil erosion. ER -
