Detailed Solution

  • A contour barrier technique for soil and water conservation is used in hilly areas.
  • Contour barriers are contour strips that intercept descending waters and ground particles. 
  • This makes it possible to reduce the flow of water along the slope. 
  • A long-term benefit of barriers is that the soil tends to build up behind them, creating a terrace effect.
