Soil erosion is natural phenomenon which occurs due to forces from rain water, surface runoff, wind, gravity, etc., exerting on surface soil and result in detachment and transport of soil from that area. Soil erosion rate varies depending on many factors including rainfall intensity and duration, area slope, covered vegetation, soil type, wind velocity, surface runoff rate, etc. Soil erosion has resulted in loss in surface soil which normally has high nutrients. It also causes environmental problems indownstream area and receiving water body.

WHAT HAPPEN !!! IN EACH PART OF THAILAND
Songkhla
Songkhla lake is a significant water resource in the southern part of Thailand. It is a large lagoon which receives freshwater from its watershed and finally drains into the Gulf of Thailand.
And what happen???
Rapid growth of population and urbanization, as well as changes in land use patterns in Songkhla lake basin in the past few decades result in degradation in environmental quality. Among the severe problems are deposition of sediment transported from the watershed, degradation in water quality in some parts of the lake, reduction in fishery resource, and algal bloom in some areas during some months of the year. Deposition of sediment has made the lake shallower gradually. km2. Though water depth in the lake varies in the range of 1 - 4 m, the average depth is only 1.5 m. This sediment deposition has caused navigation and fishery problems and will shorten useful life of the lake. The Harbour Department had to spend lot of money in dredgingduring the past decade.
WHAT we can do >"<
1. Reduce using paper
2. Planting
3. Campaign

Very good! I like that you used a specific example in Thailand. The problem is very serious, but why?
You also mention that reducing paper might reduce soil erosion in Thailand. Why do you think that would help reduce soil erosion? How could we stop using paper? What are some possible alternatives?
Again, nice work, and great pictures!

It's so sad for losing the wonderful places like the beach.
The government should care more about this problem.
