2.1 技术简介

技术定义:

Stonelines are constructed along the contours to slow down the speed of runoff, filter the soil and enhance water infiltration.

2.2 技术的详细说明

说明:

In Kenya stone lines are mostly practiced in areas that receive 200-750 mm of annual rainfall with a spacing of 15-30 m between them. They are particularly common in areas where rocks are readily available, such as Mbeere, Laikipia, Baringo, Mwingi, Kitui and Tharaka. Since the stonelines are permeable they do not pond runoff water but instead, they slow down the speed, filter it and spread the water over the field, thus enhancing water infiltration and reducing soil erosion. They are built in series running along the slope. In addition, the stone barrier blocks and settles down the sediments transported from the upper slopes.

Purpose of the Technology: They are often used to rehabilitate eroded and abandoned land. The advantages of stonelines include; slowing down the runoff thereby increasing infiltration and soil moisture. They also induce a natural process of terracing, reducing erosion and rehabilitation of eroded lands by trapping silt. They are easy to design and construct and since the stone line structure is permeable there is no need for construction of spillways to drain the excess runoff water. When it rains, the soil builds up on the upslope side of the stonelines and over time a natural terrace is formed.

Establishment / maintenance activities and inputs: The stonelines are spaced 15-30 m apart, a shorter distance being used for the steeper slopes. Stonelines are normally suitable on gentle slopes. Slopes above 35% should be avoided. They are established in the following manner: first, the contour line are marked out with the help of a tube level or line levels. In this region here, it is done with the help of the frontline agricultural extension officers. Secondly, a shallow foundation trench is dug across the slope (5-10 cm to 30 cm deep) using basic farm equipments (jembes or hoes). As shown on the above photographs, the larger stones are put on the down slope side of the trench while the smaller stones are used to build the rest of the bund. The smallest stones are used to fill the gaps and increase the heights of the bunds up to the desired level. Farmers plant fruit trees (pawpaws) as show in the photograph above on the upper part. The trees utilises the moisture and rich sediments deposited on the upper part. The stonelines can be reinforced with earth, or crop residues to make them more stable. Maintenance of stonelines is done by repairing the already damaged /fallen stoneline that may have been knocked down or disarranged by livestock or by human beings. In this case animal access needs to be limited and/or the bund should be laid out in a way that allows the animals to pass through.

Natural / human environment: In the lower Mbeere South District where the stoneline technologies is largely practiced, unless there are stones in the individual farms, it might be difficult to import stones from other farms as the exercise can be labor intensive. In this catchment, the Ministry of Agriculture through the front line extension officers has taken a lead role in encouraging farmers to adopt the technology especially the farms which have many stones. Most of the farmers who have implemented this technology in the Lower Mbeere South District learn from the ones who are already practicing through field days or individual initiatives.

4.7 影响成本的最重要因素

描述影响成本的最决定性因素:

The system is labour intensive and hence will affect the cost of constructing the stonelines. However, availability of farm equipments like wheelbarrows, mattocks or oxen will help reduce the total cost and time required for construction and maintaining the stonelines. On steep slopes, the spacing between the lines is small as compared to a relatively gentle slope.

6.5 技术采用

注释:

There is a moderate trend towards spontaneous adoption of the Technology

Comments on adoption trend: The technology is mainly practiced on the farms with stones even though the farmers admit that the task of construction is labour intensive. However, these not withstanding, the farmers do acknowledge that the technology is beneficial since they can see the results of yields from the ones who are already practicing.

6.7 该技术的优点/长处/机会

土地使用者眼中的长处/优势/机会
By concentrating the stones along a contour, the farmer is able to make use of the land which otherwise is not possible if the stones are scatered. How can they be sustained / enhanced? Farmers should be encouraged to learn from one another but they should also seek advice from extension officers in making the contours.
The cost of replacement of farm equipments (jembes, forks and pangas) is reduced since they aren't broken by stones during land preparation.

编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的长处/优势/机会
The stones for constructing the technology are readily available in most of the farms. How can they be sustained / enhanced? Encouraging farmers to use the available stones to put up the technology.
Stoneline technology prevents soil loss due to erosion. How can they be sustained / enhanced? Modification of the technology to allow more infiltration.
No high level technical knowledge is required for construction of stoneline technology. How can they be sustained / enhanced? More farmers should be encouraged to adopt the technology since they dont need a high level of technical knowledge.
Stone lines technology can be modified to prevent soil and water from running off on the side of stone line ridge. How can they be sustained / enhanced? Construction of side ridges.

6.8 技术的弱点/缺点/风险及其克服方法

土地使用者认为的弱点/缺点/风险	如何克服它们？
Contour profiling is challenging.	Assistance from the front line agricultural extension officers.

编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的弱点/缺点/风险	如何克服它们？
Labour intensive.	When constructing, always move the stones downslope by gravity instead of moving upwards i.e. start from the contours from the upper side
The technology only allows the soil to deposit on the upper side of the stoneline but water passes through.	Proper arrangement of the stones should be enhanced basing on their sizes.
Increased habitats for snakes and other dangerous creatures like scorpions that hide on the stonelines.	Where there creatures are prone, the farmers should be careful.
