backfill behind

retaining walls

• Use of filter fences to

protect wadis from

run off and

sedimentation

Adoption of Best Practice

for serving operatives

food reduces food,

water consumption

and waste

• Protection and

preservation of

existing trees and

vegetation

Adoption of Best Practice
