Swales

Question: How do you determine where to put swales when your property is essentially flat?

It is always amazing to me to see how not flat property is that you
perceive to be flat. Finding the contour is easy and fun with an
A-Frame. We could demonstrate this at the next meeting for those not
familiar with how it is done. Aside from finding the contour you need
to consider where you get runoff from surfaces like driveways, patios,
roofs, etc. and you can use swales to capture and direct that water
where you want it to infiltrate.
