Stone lines induce a natural process of terracing as they trap sediments. Stone lines or stone bunds can slow down runoff, increase water infiltration and form the basis for improved production in semi-arid areas. By using the contours of low slopes water harvesting is improved and crops are possible in low rainfall years. They are also built to rehabilitate eroded lands. Farmers in Kenya show how they construct stone lines.
