What is bund construction?

Bunding, also called a bund wall, is a constructed retaining wall around storage “where potentially polluting substances are handled, processed or stored, for the purposes of containing any unintended escape of material from that area until such time as a remedial action can be taken.

The main purpose of bunds is to slow down and filter runoff water from rainfall. This helps in greatly reducing soil nutrients.
