In-Depth Information
Inspection paths should be so aligned—starting with the entrance gate—that al-
most every part of the site can be reached. Alignment in the pattern of a diagonal
cross or in a plus sign will suffice under most circumstances, but a rugged terrain
can rule out such simple layouts. Advantage should be taken of the existing paths, if
any, or any other convenient formation that can be used as a pathway.
Paths for transportation of plants, water, and for other logistic support must be
identified well in advance and marked out, so that no soil conservation structures are
constructed on these. All such paths will start from the entrance, hence the location
of the entrance should be decided keeping all these factors in view. Whitewash can
be used to mark such paths on ground, and while soil-working is carried out, certain
portions of paths that might not be motorable should be levelled out or made up to
enable passage of vehicles and carts.
