2.1 Short description of the Technology

Definition of the Technology:

Les banquettes combinées avec des plantations à base des espèces forestières et fruitières ayant pour objectif de lutter contre les effets de 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 région se trouve face à des problèmes d’ordre physique et socio-économique caractérisés par la récurrence des périodes de sécheresse, les averses violentes sporadiques estivales. La résultante de ces problèmes découle sur l’accélération de l’érosion hydrique sous toutes ses formes et les inondations qui compromettent sérieusement tout développement normal de la zone. C'est pour cet raison le projet de la FAO à installé une parcelle des plantations anti érosives de démonstration en amont du Qçer Flylou. Dans ce cadre cet exploitant a pris l'initiative de dupliquer l’expérience du projet par la technique de plantation et le choix des espèces arborescente (l’action à tâche d’huile).
Ce sont des éléments de banquettes traditionnelles qui 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 du ruissellement afin de contrôler l’érosion, augmenter la quantité d’eau stockée dans le sol et récolter les sédiments érodés.
Les banquettes de Moha sont très diversifiées par des cultures. La plantation des légumineuses aide aussi à améliorer la fertilité du sol. Des mesures de récolte d’eau ont été développées pour améliorer encore les rendements des plantations fruitiers en particulier. Mais ce que cette technologie nécessite un entretien très fréquent.
