Furrow
- Furrow is a long, narrow irrigation trench made in the ground used for an optimal supply of water.
- Furrows can be level and are very similar to long narrow basins. However, a minimum grade of 0.05% is recommended so that effective drainage can occur following irrigation or excessive rainfall.
Important Points
- The maximum recommended furrow slope is 0.5% to avoid soil erosion. Furrows can be set when the mainland slope does not exceed 3%. Beyond this, there is a major risk of soil erosion following a breach in the furrow system. On steep land, terraces can also be constructed and furrows cultivated along the terraces.
