9. Mulching
If mulching is done with the agricultural waste like
leaves and other waste materials ,it will help to conserve
the soil and the moisture in that area.
12. Bench Terracing
The slopes are being converted into terraces
and farming is done here . This helps in protecting
the soil and water.
13. Stone Pitched Bunds
In this method a stone wall is constructed
across the slopes which allows the soil to settle
down forming level terraces.
14. Rain Water Pits
Rain water pits are made to retain rain water for a
long time so that it can slowly seep into the earth.
15. Check Dams
The water that runs through canals and streams
are dammed and the flow of water is partially obstructed .
This prevent soil erosion.
16. ROOF TOP HARVESTING
The rain water that falls on the roofs of buildings are
collected in reservoirs or recharge system helps in enriching
the source of underground water.
