Rock Barrier (555): A rock retaining wall constructed across the slope to form

runoff water from roofs.

Soil and Crop Water Use Data: From soils information the available
holding capacity of the soil can be determined along with the amount of water
that the plant can extract from the soil before additional irrigation is needed.
