2.1 技术简介

技术定义:

Artificial grassed waterways are constructed waterways established for transportation of concentrated flow at safe velocities using adequate vegetation.

2.2 技术的详细说明

说明:

Grassed waterways are natural or constructed channels established for transport of concentrated flow at safe velocities using adequate vegetation. They are generally broad and shallow by design to move surface water across farms without causing soil erosion. The vegetative cover slows the water flow, minimizing channel surface erosion. When properly constructed, grassed waterways can safely transport large water flows down slope. These waterways can also be used as outlets for water released from contoured and terraced systems and from diverted channels. This practice reduces sedimentation of nearby water bodies and pollutants in runoff.

Purpose of the Technology: In Embu District, waterways are constructed to act both as a channel of disposing run-off into the river and a foot path. The type of vegetation that is used in this district is fodder grass called paspalum. They are used on slopes of less than 20% and where flow velocities do not exceed 1.8 m/s. They are also suitable in areas where rainfall intensities are high and excess run-off is frequent, such as slopes in humid regions, in semi-arid or arid regions where soil infiltration rates are low and run-off is concentrated, where cultivated fields have been treated with various types of terracing systems and drainage is necessary and on non-cultivated lands to connect run-off drainage structures such as diversions, cut-off ditches. Advantages of grassed waterways include flood damage prevention; erosion control; aesthetic value; water quality improvement; design based on landowner’s/farmer’s experience; soluble contaminant flow retardation; and dispersion of concentrated flow, thereby minimizing gully erosion.

Establishment / maintenance activities and inputs: Limitations of this practice include the cost of installation (e.g., grading slopes and vegetation establishment), loss of acreage for pasture or crops and the variability of effectiveness due to the uncertainty of runoff rate and frequency. Disadvantages of a grassed waterway include working around it with farm equipment, vegetative growth may be troublesome and the depth of the waterway limits it as a tile drainage outlet. The construction of the waterway will depend on the soil’s erosive potential. For example, a shallower waterway will result in an area with more erodible soil. Depending on the equipment and labor costs, grading, seed and fertilizer selected, the cost of establishing grassed waterways will vary. However in most cases where no additional structures are constructed on the waterway, grassed waterways are cheap to construct. Potential returns include fodder for feeding the farmers animals which is very common in Embu North District.

4.1 该技术的技术图纸

4.2 技术规范/技术图纸说明

The technical drawing on the left shows a typical artificial grassed water way. Farmers plant grass along a pathway that acts as a both foot path and waterway to drain runoff from the main crop land along a drainage channel. Some times it is constructed along a boundary between to farms. As water flows down the slope through the grassed water way, the soil particles are filtered by the grass.
