Abstract: Field bunds are structural measures with low construction cost and simple operation to prevent soil erosion compared with terraces.The wide range and large-scale application of bund technologies are mainly concentrated in Africa,India and China.Compared with China and Africa,India has done more work both in design principle and practical application.Through sorting out the scientific literature,lectures videos and webpage contents,this paper introduces in detail the present situation of Indian contour bund technology application and the design principle,expounds the calculation of key parameters such as vertical/horizontal spacing,bund height,and cross-section area of contour bund,analyzes the field operation,so as to inspire and promote the design,extension and application of the bund technology in China in the future.
