Subtopic: Contour Bunding

Question Statement:

A contour bund system is designed on agricultural land with a ground slope of $S = 3\%$. Using the standard empirical relation for vertical interval $V.I. = \left(\frac{S}{3} + 2\right)$ in feet (with $S$ in percent), and converting to meters ($1\text{ ft} = 0.3048\text{ m}$), the vertical interval in meters is:

Answer Key:

0.91

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$V.I. = \left(\frac{3}{3} + 2\right) = 3\text{ ft}$. In meters: $V.I. = 3 \times 0.3048 = 0.9144\text{ m}$.
