Running water always flows downhill, or down a slope. When this happens on farmland there could be two negative consequences. First is that along with the flowing water quality top soil runs off the farmland destroying its fertility. Second , if the slope is uneven water collects in parts of the farm. This water logging is equally disastrous. How do you combat this problem. The watershed management treatment that addresses this issue best is the graded contour bund. In this video you will find a step-by-step methodology for building such a bund scientifically, appropriate for slope witht the use of a tool called the hydromarker.
This training video has been created by Paani Foundation founded by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao. This technique has successfully been implemented in thousands of villages in Maharashtra with proven results.
