Contour bunds, built with earth or stones, increase the amount of water available to crops and vegetation, thus contributing to the restoration of degraded land

Contour stone bunds are erosion control structures and improve water retention and infiltration into the soil, resulting in an increased harvest.

Covering the soil with mulch protects it against wind and water erosion and provides nutrients which has a positive effect on yields and food security.

Les murets servent à casser la vitesse de ruissellement en favorisant l'infiltration et le dépôt de terres en amont des ouvrages sur versants dénudés à sols caillouteux.

Nardi/Vallerani trenches are microcatchments which are made using a special tractor-pulled plough to restore degraded and encrusted forests and rangelands

Grassed waterways are shallow channels (natural or constructed) with grass cover, used to drain surface runoff from cropland and prevent erosion.

Microcatchment water harvesting captures, stores and allows safe overflow of excess surface runoff collected during heavy rainfall events. The intercepted and deep-infiltrated water enhances soil moisture at/around the microcatchment structure. This eventually boosts plant productivity in dry areas, mitigates land degradation, and benefits the local farming communities’ livelihoods
