Soil Conservation Structures

Contour bunding is a method of soil conservation that involves constructing small earthen ridges along the contours of a slope to slow down the flow of water and reduce erosion.

Contour farming is a soil conservation practice that involves farming along the contours of a slope, rather than up and down, to reduce soil erosion.

Terracing is a soil conservation practice that involves constructing a series of level or gently sloping benches on a hillside to reduce erosion and improve water management.

Strip cropping is a soil conservation practice that involves alternating strips of different crops in a field, with the strips running perpendicular to the slope, to reduce erosion and improve soil fertility.

Grassed waterways are channels or depressions covered with grass or other vegetation that are designed to convey excess water from a field without causing erosion.

Contour bunding is a soil conservation practice that involves constructing a series of small earthen ridges along the contours of a slope to slow down the flow of water and reduce erosion.

Terracing is a soil conservation practice that involves constructing a series of level or gently sloping benches on a hillside to reduce erosion and improve water management.

Conservation tillage is a soil conservation practice that involves leaving crop residues on the field after harvest to protect the soil from erosion.

Contour bunding is a soil conservation practice that involves constructing a series of small earthen ridges along the contours of a slope to slow down the flow of water and reduce erosion.

Crop rotation is a soil conservation practice that involves planting different crops in a field in a specific sequence to improve soil fertility and reduce erosion.

Windbreaks are rows of trees or shrubs planted to reduce the impact of wind on soil and crops, thereby controlling erosion.

Check dams are small dams or barriers constructed across a waterway to slow down the flow of water and reduce erosion.

Contour bunding is a soil conservation practice that involves constructing a series of small earthen ridges along the contours of a slope to slow down the flow of water and reduce erosion.

Strip cropping is a soil conservation practice that involves planting crops in rows that are perpendicular to the slope of the land to reduce erosion.

Terracing is a soil conservation practice that involves constructing a series of level or gently sloping benches on a hillside to reduce erosion and improve water management.
