→‎Suitable conditions
- Reduces soil erosion <br>
- Smaller scale encourages ownership, which means a higher rate of success <br>
- Higher crop returns in dryer years and allow farmers to diversify income sources in normal years <br>
| con= - High cost and effort involved in some earthworks, so poor or vulnerable families (e.g. single headed households) may struggle. A possible remedy: reduce donor dependency... use grain from harvests to pay off a loan that was used for the earthworks. Artificial glaciers in India were costing around $6,000 but it depends on the site. <br>
- Breached bunds will require repair work <br>
