microcatchments
Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- A microcatchment is a specially contoured area with slopes and berms designed to increase runoff from rain and concentrate it in a planting basin where it infiltrates and is effectively “stored” in the soil profile. The water is available to plants but protected from evaporation.
- Consiste en captar la escorrentía superficial generada dentro del propio terreno de cultivo, en áreas contiguas al área sembrada o plantada, para hacerla infiltrar y ser aprovechada por los cultivos.
