Landscaping
| The Siyakhana site is being landscaped using swales, bunds, and diversion ditches to harvest and store rainwater and build a healthy soil. Swales are special ditches which run across the slope, parallel to the contours. Soil from the ditch is deposited on the downhill side of the ditch which allows a swale to slow, spread, sink and store surface run-off. The ditch also accumulates organic debris and decomposes to make a rich humus, helping to soak up water and fertilise the soil. |
