Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Contour ditch irrigation is also known as wild flooding. It consists of a series of ditches spaced 25 to 100 m apart. There is a slight slope along these ditches and usually, the downslope bank is lower so that the water, when checked, is not restrained from flowing into the field along the entire ditch. Sometimes, water release into the field is accomplished by making cuts through the down-slope bank or using siphons. Theoretically, in contour ditch irrigation the water moves down the slope as a uniform sheet. Successive ditches located down the slope pick up the surface runoff and redistribute it to lower portions of the field. 4, record 3, English, - contour%20ditch%20irrigation

Irrigation par rigoles de niveau.

Comme cette méthode exige beaucoup de main-d'œuvre pour n'assurer qu'une faible efficacité, elle ne devrait être utilisée qu'en attendant de terminer le nivellement du terrain pour adopter une méthode plus efficace. 3, record 3, French, - irrigation%20par%20rigoles%20de%20niveau
