Section 4: Soil and Water Conservation Engineering

Soil and Water Erosion

Subtopic: Terraces and bunds

Question Statement:

A contour bund system is planned for a field on a land slope of $S = 4\%$. Using Ramser's empirical formula for vertical interval $VI = \frac{S}{3} + 2$ (where $VI$ is in feet and $S$ is in percent), calculate the vertical interval $VI$ in $\text{feet}$.

Answer Key:

3.333

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$VI = \frac{S}{3} + 2 = \frac{4}{3} + 2 = 1.333 + 2 = 3.333\text{ ft}$
