English term or phrase: furrow dike
Stimati colegi,

Va rog sa ma ajutati cu un echivalent romanesc al termenului dat: furrow dike

Contextul

The furrow diking practice is known by many names, including tied ridges, furrow damming, basin tillage, basin listing, and microbasin tillage. The dikes or basins store potential runoff on the soil surface, allowing the water to infiltrate (Fig. 1) thus, decreasing storm or irrigation runoff and increasing storage and plant available water in the soil. Furrow diking is a soil and water conservation practice that is adaptable to both dryland and irrigated crop production. It is most often used on gently sloping terrain in arid and semiarid areas where crops are grown under water deficit conditions. This practice has become widely adopted due to new herbicide technologies to control weeds, herbicide tolerant crops, and improved mechanical equipment for constructing the dikes.

bazin de retenţie /de acumulare


Explanation:
Irigarea prin inundare.
Domeniul de aplicare: Se utilizeaza în principal pentru irigarea orezului si
pasunilor de iarba, precum si pentru spalarea pamânturilor salinizate cu un grad de înclinare mic (mai putin de 0,002).
Principiul de functionare: Apa este livrata în bazinele de acumulare sub forma de suvoi permanent de 3–20 cm, care se absoarbe în sol datorita fortei gravitatiei.

Furrow dikes are mounds of soil mechanically installed in the furrow. Installation creates a small basin in front of each dam. When rainfall occurs in amounts exceeding the soil's infiltration rate, the dikes hold water in the small reservoir until it has time to soak into the soil.

disagree  roberto_sava: Este o tehnică utilizată în agricultură,prin practicarea unor brazde de udare. Nu cred că pot fi asimilate cu bazinele de retenţie sau de acumulare care din punct de vedere tehnic au alt rol.Aceste brazde sunt realizate cu maşini speciale.

  -> irigarea pe brazde şi pe rânduri reprezintă într-adevăr o tehnică de udare, însă aici nu e vorba de nişte brazde simple, ci se creează mici bazine care reţin surplusul de apă. vezi linkurile
