Terraces and waterways are designed to divert water off a field such that soil erosion and crop loss due to water ponding is reduced. Terraces have a high side that prevents water from running over the top of it, while also typically sloping to the side to divert water into a waterway or ditch outlet along the edge of a field. Waterways transport water off a field to a designated outlet.

The Terrace & Waterway Design solution allows the user to easily and automatically create a basic terrace or waterway design in just five steps. The 3D control files and feature line guidance files for compatible Trimble displays are also auto-created, allowing land forming work to begin right away – no more waiting for designs to come back from the office. Farmers can now conduct their own maintenance, saving money on contractors by extending the life expectancy of terraces and waterways while preventing up to 5% yield loss in terraced fields.
