(2) Provisions requiring observance of particular methods of cultivation including contour cultivating, contour furrowing, lister furrowing, sowing, planting, strip cropping, seeding, and planting of lands with water-conserving and erosion-preventing plants, trees, and grasses, forestation, and reforestation;
(3) Provisions requiring the retirement from cultivation of highly erosive areas or of areas on which erosion may not be adequately controlled if cultivation is carried on;
(4) Provisions for such other means, measures, operations, and programs as may assist conservation of soil resources and prevent or control soil erosion in the district, having due regard for the legislative findings set forth in §§ 14-125-102 — 14-125-104.

14-125-102. Legislative determination — Soil condition.
It is declared, as a matter of legislative determination:
(1) That the farm and grazing lands of the State of Arkansas are among the basic assets of the state and that the preservation of these lands is necessary to protect and promote the health, safety, and general welfare of its people;
(2) That improper land-use practices have caused and have contributed to, and are now causing and contributing to, a progressively more serious erosion of the farm and grazing lands of this state by water and wind;
(3) That the breaking of natural grass, plant, and forest cover have interfered with the natural factors of soil stabilization, causing loosening of soil and exhaustion of humus and developing a soil condition that favors erosion;
(4) That the topsoil is being washed and blown out of the fields and pastures;
(5) That there has been an accelerated washing of sloping fields;
(6) That these processes of erosion by water and wind speed up with removal of absorptive topsoil, causing exposure of less absorptive and less protective but more erosive subsoil;
(7) That failure by any landowner to conserve the soil and control erosion upon his lands causes a washing and blowing of soil and water from his lands onto other lands and makes the conservation of soil and control of erosion on such other lands difficult or impossible.

(1) That land-use practices contributing to soil wastage and soil erosion be discouraged and discontinued, and appropriate soil-conserving land-use practices and works of improvement for flood prevention or the conservation, development, and utilization of soil and water resources and the disposal of water be adopted and carried out;
(2) That among the works of improvement and procedures needed are:
(A) The carrying on of engineering operations such as the construction of terraces, terrace outlets, check dams, desilting basins, floodwater-retarding structures, channel improvements, floodways, dikes, ponds, ditches, and the like;
