What is meant by contour bunding?

Answer: The practice of contour bunding entails placing stone lines following the natural rises of a hilly, sloping, or marginal area. 

• It is possible to absorb and keep rainwater before it becomes runoff by using the contour bunding technique
• It is claimed that contour bunding prevents soil erosion to the extent of 25 to 162 tonnes per hectare, hence preserving soil fertility
• In addition, the amount of water that may be absorbed by the soil has grown greatly
