2.1 Short description of the Technology

Definition of the Technology:

Les banquettes, combinées avec des plantations à base d'espèces forestières et fruitières, ont pour objectif de lutter contre l'érosion hydrique qui menace les habitations et les infrastructures de base en aval de la parcelle.

2.2 Detailed description of the Technology

Description:

La récurrence de périodes de sécheresse et de violentes averses estivales provoque l’accélération de l’érosion hydrique sous toutes ses formes et des inondations qui compromettent sérieusement tout développement normal de la zone. Pour lutter contre l’érosion hydrique, un exploitant du Douar de Flilou a pris l'initiative de mettre en place une parcelle de plantations anti érosives en s’inspirant d’un projet pilote mis en place par la FAO à proximité.
Des banquettes traditionnelles ont été établies grâce à la construction de talus en pierre qui suivent les courbes de niveau.
Le but de ces structures est de fractionner les pentes et de diminuer l’importance duruissellement pour contrôler l’érosion, augmenter l’infiltration et la quantité d’eau stockée dans le sol et accumuler les sédiments érodés.
Des cultures diversifiées sont installées sur ces banquettes. La plantation des légumineuses aide aussi à améliorer la fertilité du sol. Des structures de collecte des eaux ont été développées pour améliorer encore les rendements des plantations d’arbres fruitiers en particulier. Un des inconvénients de cette technologie est qu’elle nécessite un entretien très fréquent.
