Small-scale dams are moderately-sized barriers built across valley bottoms to retain water from permanent watercourses or seasonal flows.
Organic fertiliser enhances the productivity of the soil, as well as its capacity for infiltration and water retention.
The objective of a system of rice intensification (SRI) is increased yields.
A micro-irrigation system to use water more efficiently and increase yields
Embankment dams are built to retain rainwater without totally blocking the flow of water, enabling the irrigation of a part of the plain.
This technique makes it possible to develop unirrigated land at low cost to meet the demand for higher agricultural production and improved living conditions.
IPPM reduces the negative impact wrought by pesticides on the environment (wildlife, water, soil) and on humankind
Lining canals is a powerful way to save irrigation water by minimising seepage losses, and to reduce pumping time and costs.
