Solution

Contour bunding and contour ploughing is the two techniques used to prevent soil from getting eroded by wind and water flow.

Contour bunding: It is farming practice in which planting is followed by a soil elevation which is constructed manually.

Contour ploughing: It is ploughing, done at right angles to the hill slopes, ridges and furrows so that the elevation prevents soil erosion by wind and water.
