Benefits: This system allows lowering the risk of landslides as well as recovering rainwater, particularly in dry areas. The ditches generated on the slope receive runoff water, retain it and gradually infiltrate it. It allows the implantation of plantations, in particular trees, which reinforce the slope with their roots. This woodland can be supplemented with crops. Design and implementation: This permaculture technique is based on following the topography lines to define the implantation of the trenches. It is advisable to make shallow trenches but implemented regularly to avoid generating abrupt slopes.
