area will influence the design.

* Avoid the following areas:

1. Clay areas – bunds made from soil with high clay content develop leaks through pipes in the bund structure which form due to cracks when it dries. <br>2. Proximity to large water courses. <br>3. Sites needing extensive levelling.<br>

* Soil in vicinity needs to have sufficient infiltration capacity.

* Ideally the slope should not be greater than 1.5% otherwise earthworks get prohibitive.
