Sorghum terrace of Diredawa locally called as Daga is constructed by placing stone walls across a slope following contour lines. The development of Sorghum terrace involves activities of creating an embankment at a given spacing, which depends on slope. Cultivation in the terrace is done by the use of Dengora (local name for spade like hand tool) if the land is sloping and by oxen if land slope is gentle (<8%). The purpose of developing Sorghum Terrace of Diredawa (STD) is to collect as much rainwater as possible for growing sorghum, which is planted by broad casting. Sorghum is the staple food in the area. Since rainfall is erratic, the STD allows more water to be stored in the soil. STD is maintained every year and also upgraded while performing different farm activities (Ploughing, Weeding, etc.,). Every time maintenance is made breaks in the terrace are repaired and additional height given to the terrace until it forms bench. STD is very suitable to areas with erratic rainfalls, sloping cultivated fields and land having abandant stones for construction. It is suitable to areas with semi-arid to arid climatic conditions and soils ranging from shallow depth to moderately deep.
