Use of terraces to mitigate the impacts of overland flow and erosion on a catchment
Original language description
The paper presents the impact of a historical system of terraces constructed centuries ago to mitigate the effect of a steep slope on overland flow. Land owners who ploughed the land and grew crops on it used stones collected from the local agricultural fields as their terracing material. The overland flow is therefore reduced by greater infiltration of extreme rainfall excess flows on the terraces, and the KINFIL model shows to what extent the system of terraces can mitigate the resultant flood and soil erosion. The Knínice locality in North-Western Bohemia, with seven terraces and six field belts between them, was selected as the experimental catchment area.
