What concept of territorial management is essential to curb upstream erosion and protect downstream infrastructure in Haiti?
100% of players answered correctly.
THE CORRECT ANSWER: Watershed development
In Haiti, the mountainous topography requires an integrated approach to water and soil management. Watershed development consists of stabilizing slopes using mechanical and biological structures, from the summit to the coast. This helps slow runoff, promote infiltration and reduce the transport of sediments which saturate urban infrastructure. For the hired expert, understanding this dynamic is crucial to limiting damage during flash floods. Faulty management at altitude inevitably condemns the plains to recurring floods. By participating in reforestation or threshold construction projects, you are acting directly on the ecological backbone of the country. It is a systemic vision necessary to move from an emergency reaction to real sustainable and strategic prevention of the national territory.
