English term or phrase: ridges/border checks
Hello!! I cannot figure out the meaning of 'checks' here. The text is about irrigation methods. When describing Flood Irrigation, this concept appears. Here's the whole part:

Border or flood irrigation is an extension of basin irrigation to sloping, long rectangular or contoured field shapes, with free draining conditions at the lower end. These systems divide the paddock into bays separated by parallel [ridges/border checks].

Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!!! :)
