Soil and Water Erosion

Subtopic: Terraces and bunds

Question Statement:

A hillside has a uniform ground slope of $S = 20\%$. For constructing level bench terraces, the vertical interval is determined to be $VI = 2.0\text{ m}$. Calculate the width of the bench terrace $W = \frac{VI \times 100}{S}$ in $\text{meters}$.

Answer Key:

10

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$W = \frac{VI}{S/100} = \frac{2.0}{0.20} = 10.0\text{ m}$
