Soil and water conservation

Swc- is the application of mechanical engineering and biological principles in farming system on a
field.

The aim of soil and water conservation

 To minimize land degradation

 To sustain agricultural production
 Ensure efficiency of structures (conserve or drain water or harvest excess water)

How to constract swc structure

First , prepare all material that used to constract swc

Those are,
1. range pole
2. string
3. meter
4. water level
5. hammer
6.

slope

slope=vertical/horizontal*100

slope Spacing between bunds

Less than 5% 15m or more
6%-10% 10m-14m
11%-15% 8m-9m
16%-20% 7m
More than 20% Less than 7m

Technical standard (levelbund)

 Top width 30cm-50cm

 Base width 1.2m
 40cm- 60cm dibth

