    Question

    Specific agriculture practices used to slow down the water run-off include

    A.

    Contour tillage

    B.

    Strip cropping

    C.

    Terracing

    D.

    a, b and c

    Correct option is D

    Water run-off can cause erosion and loss of nutrients. The following methods help reduce it:
    • Contour tillage reduces the speed of surface runoff by aligning farming operations along the natural contours.
    • Strip cropping breaks the water flow with alternating crop types.
    • Terracing creates level platforms that retain water and slow flow.
    Together, they effectively reduce erosion and enhance water infiltration, making (d) the correct answer.
