Tools & Resources

This section brings together key Amanzi for Food resources that support the practical use of diversion furrows for catching water for food production.

Takes rainwater runoff from gullies, grasslands or hard surfaces (such as paths or roads) to a cropped area or a storage tank. This increases the water available to the plants. Used for field crops and in gardens. The water is diverted (channelled) directly to soils and crops. Additional water can be stored in underground tanks for later watering.
