Abstract

Bench terracing is the process by which a series of platforms is constructed across the slope of a land, at suitable interval separated by "risers" or nearly vertical cut faces. These, in effect, break up the long slope into a set of steps or platforms; and as such function effectively as a measure to control erosion and conserve soil and moisture. This method is generally adopted for irrigated fields situated on sloping terrain; elsewhere in hilly country, on, slopes steeper than 15% where area avilable for cultivation is scarce and soil conditions are favourable and where it is economical to have these measures for soil conservation.
