Technologies and solutions to overcome shortages and pressure on resources
Field Trenches
Field trenches increase precipitation harvesting by breaking the slope of the ground and therefore reducing the velocity of water runoff. By…
Micro Basins
Micro basins are a common technique used in agriculture to collect surface run-off, increase water infiltration and prevent soil erosion. Their…
Sand Dams and Subsurface Dams
Sand dams and subsurface dams (both some times called more general groundwater dams) store water under the ground. A sand dam is a small dam build…
Check Dams & Gully Plugs
Gully plugs, also called check dams, are mainly built to prevent erosion and to settle sediments and pollutants. Furthermore, it is possible to keep…
Controlled Drainage
Controlled drainage is a precipitation harvesting method used to reduce short-term water related stress on plants, such as during flooding or drought…
Surface Groundwater Recharge
Artificial recharge is the planned, man-made increase of groundwater levels. By improving its natural replenishment capacities and percolation from…
Subsurface Drip Irrigation
Subsurface drip irrigation is a variation from conventional surface drip irrigation techniques. By minimising evaporation it uses water more…
Crop Selection
Different crops need different type of soils, different types and amounts of nutrients, and different types and amounts of water. The amount of water…
