Channels guard
Guard channels are ditches built near crops to efficiently direct water and prevent soil erosion, as well as avoiding the washing away of the fertile soil layer. These structures allow for better water management by directing it to specific areas of the farm, contributing to irrigation efficiency and preventing flooding.
