Soil and Water Conservation Techniques
Soil and water conservation techniques are methods used to protect the land and water resources from erosion and pollution. Techniques like planting cover crops, building terraces, and creating contour trenches help slow water flow and prevent soil from washing away. Practices such as reforestation, maintaining vegetation along slopes, and using check dams improve water retention and reduce runoff. These methods promote healthy soil, prevent flooding, and ensure sustainable water use, supporting agriculture and the environment over the long term.
