The soil is always under natural/man forced threat in terms of erosion either due to water or wind actions. To check the occurrence of soil erosion/soil loss various measures are followed. For better effectiveness of soil loss control measures, their proper design and construction need to the very important. The design is carried out based on the few pre requisite [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Types of Bund 2. Classification of Bunding System 3. Design Criteria 4. Planning 5. Construction. Types of Bund: The different types of bund used in practice are given as under: 1. Contour Bund – The bunds constructed exactly on contour or with permissible deviation from the contour, are called contour bunds. 2. [...]
In this article we will discuss about how to design a bund to control soil erosion. A bund consists of following parameters for determining under design: 1. Choice of Bund: The choice of bund (i.e. contour or graded bund) to be constructed depends on the rainfall, soil condition and types of the outlets used. In low rainfall areas with the [...]
