Photograph of a meadow outlet channel as developed from a gully which was being used to carry excess terrace water to the meadow at the foot of the slope. The entire area is fully utilized for the production of hay without loss of ground while the terrace channels gullying back into the field on both sides was also eliminated. The area has been sloped and sodded and a good vegetative cover has stabilized erosion.
