Bemerkung:

Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - The Yemeni highlands is a region where traditional runoff agriculture is still practised in the same way as it was thousands of years ago in many semi-arid and arid zones of the world. Although runoff agriculture is, as far as the amount of area and the type of production is concerned, much more important in the highlands than irrigated agriculture, the latter received and still receives more attention in any agricultural development attempt. Not until the 80s, especially in the context of erosion prevention, was more attention paid to the vital importance of terraces and rainwater harvesting for all aspects of agriculture in the Yemeni highlands.
