Rain bunds in Sub-Saharan Africa


Title: Rain bunds in Sub-Saharan Africa

Description: Justdiggit employs a simple and effective technique in which a small and shallow semicircular-shaped pit – called a ‘bund’ – is dug into the dry earth. This then fills up during rainfall, allowing water to seep into the soil and rehydrate the land, which promotes the regrowth of vegetation.
