Where is contour bunding done?

Contour bunding is a method of water conservation mainly carried out in hilly areas. Earthen embankments are built across the slope of the land. This reduces the amount of water that flows down the slope.

Contour bunding techniques are great at capturing and holding rainfall before it can become runoff, eventually preventing soil erosion and retaining nutrients in the soil.
