This project has built on the legacy of the Madian Salagnac Centre. A new type of structure for the country, the hard weir with micro-retention, is its flagship feature. This project has attracted considerable interest from many officials. Its success is due both to the hard weir with micro-retention technique and to a 'way of doing things' that is unique to Haiti. Various interventions were ingeniously combined and the project management was outstanding. This account by a practitioner first outlines the erosion issues encountered in Haiti, then takes a detour to explain the major watershed management projects. It then discusses the technical aspects of the Enfants Sans Fronti�res project and describes the local know-how employed, as well as the project organisation that enabled its implementation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Our Knowledge Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892639907991,"sku":"9786209928437","price":5315.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786209928437.webp?v=1781187911","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/soil-formation-and-erosion-at-gros-morne-9786209928437","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
