PROJECTHOW TO BUILD BOOMERANG

BASINS ON SLOPES

Follow these directions to create a network of

small, V-shaped basins along a hillside that slopes

from 16 to 40 percent. The size of the basins

depends on the slope. On 16 percent slopes,

basins can be up to 6 feet (1.8 m) or more on a

side and 18 inches (45 cm) deep. On 40 percent

slopes, the basins should be no more than 2 feet

(60 cm) on a side and 8 inches (20 cm) deep.

1. Stand on the downhill

side o a tree or shrub

(or a place you will plant

one). With a pickaxe or

stick, draw a V uphill

rom the tree, so that

the tree is in the point o

the V.

2. Walk to the top o one o

lines you just drew. Draw

another V uphill rom

this point. Repeat or the

other arm. The pattern o

lines should start to look

like a fshnet. Continue

until the pattern covers

the slope.

3. Dig basins in between

each set o lines. Stand

at the point o a V. Witha mattock or McLeod (a

frefghting tool), loosen

soil and pull it toward

the line. Make the berm
