Shallow contour furrows urged for erosion control
C R Enlow of the soil conservation service promotes shallow contour furrows as a cost effective erosion control method. Studies show closely spaced shallow furrows outperform deeper gaps, with calculations indicating a 6 inch by 18 inch furrow holds about 5.61 gallons per linear foot. On a 160 acre tract with 20 foot spacing, water storage reaches about 2.25 million gallons, aiding rainfall and snowmelt absorption.
