Hello, I hope you are well.
It is a pleasure for me to share with you the half-moon technique, a traditional method of water and soil conservation widely used in Burkina Faso, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas. It involves digging semicircular basins, generally 2 to 4 meters in diameter, with the open edge facing upslope. This technique captures and retains runoff water during the rainy season, promoting its infiltration into the soil and vegetation regeneration. It is particularly effective for restoring degraded land, combating erosion, and improving soil fertility. Used in agroforestry and agricultural fields, the half-moon plays a crucial role in helping rural communities adapt to climate change and promote sustainable agriculture in Burkina Faso.
