Popis: This report is about a newly developed procedure for setting priorities in gully control. It explains basic gully systems and developments as influenced by geomorphologic processes on which the proposed procedure is based. These processes consist of two types: one, representing interactions between the individual gullies of a network; the other, mechanisms initiated within a given gully by localized instability conditions. Classifying gullies into continuous and discontinuous types not only allows determination of network types but also points to critical locations that must be considered by the designer.
