Description of the measure

Keyline design

Comments on sustainability

The Keyline design technique consists of favoring the infiltration of water into the soil to make it circulate as long as possible from tillage taking into account the level lines. It will then be possible to connect these keylines to watering points which will thus be naturally filled during rainy episodes.
