Use of terraces to mitigate the impacts of overland flow and erosion on a catchment
The paper presents the impact of a historical system of terraces constructed centuries ago to mitigate the effect of a steep slope on overland flow. Systems of this type were constructed in past centuries by land owners, who then ploughed the land and grew crops on it. They used stones collected fro...
