BERM: a mound of earth, usually engineered by humans to serve a specific purpose. Berms are among the oldest constructions made by man and have been used for centuries to contain areas, bolster defenses, aid in home construction, provide privacy, and add variation to a landscape.

We're using it along the fence in the back to run the water along the fence and not into the middle of the yard.
