High erosion potential can
be mitigated through the use of erosion barriers and land use planning. Development in an area with high
erosion potential should be done in a way that controls erosion and limits
the impacts on the lake. This
model could serve as a tool when planning future developments or erosion
control measures.

This model can be helpful
when trying to pinpoint the sources of phosphorus that are entering Togus
Pond in the form of runoff.
Areas that have high erosion potential are more likely to be
contributing to the external phosphorus load of the lake.

Focusing erosion control
efforts on areas with high erosion potential will lead to more efficient
prevention of runoff. New
housing should be built with caution in areas with high erosion potential,
since clearing forest and building houses can result in large amounts of
erosion.
