Synopsis
Proven methods for saving soil and boosting harvests on sloped land. This practical guide explains how to design contour crescents, dikes, and runoff systems that capture water and reduce erosion. Learn step by step how to lay out crescent dikes, manage spillways, and divert or concentrate runoff to improve crop and forage production.
Drawing on field-tested techniques, the book shows how to assess slopes, space water-collection features, and maintain structures. It also offers clear guidance on choosing layouts, evaluating sediment in irrigation water, and deciding when to store moisture in the soil for later use. Readers will find concrete descriptions, illustrations, and examples that connect design decisions to actual yields.
- How hillside crescents and contour dikes concentrate water for better growth.
- Ways to control erosion while turning runoff into productive land for crops or forage.
- Practical checks for sediment content, water availability, and seasonal use of flows.
- Illustrated steps for planning, building, and maintaining erosion-control structures.
Ideal for landowners, farmers, and ranchers looking to improve moisture management and crop yields on challenging slopes.
