Water Conservation; Water Erosion; Flooding and Prevention

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. The entire area is now fully utilized for hay production and the former unprotected terrace outlets which were cutting back into the cultivated field have been eliminated by proper shaping and sodding.
