Microbasins which supply single trees or bushes with runoff on hillsides are sometimes termed eyebrow terraces. They are also known as ‘platform terraces’ as their cultivated area is kept level. The catchment size is 5 – 50 m² and the cultivated area 1 – 5 m². This technology can be applied on slopes of up to 50%; the steeper the gradient, the more the bunds have to be reinforced by stone (where available). Eyebrow terraces can be applied in areas of 200 – 600 mm annual rainfall. (Mekdaschi & Liniger 2013)
