Higher road would equate to deeper roadside ditch for sure....simple math with or without an ENG abbreviation on your signature or that pinky ring.....lol. I would say most, if not all municipalities have focused a lot more the last decade or so on cleaning/clearing out & in some cases deepening most drainage ditches then they ever did before.

Litigation has prompted that. Minimum Maintenance Standards exist..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoney Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Well, if the ditch increases in size, so must the culvert to match the flow rate, otherwise Houston we have a problem….. These adjustments in water drainage systems, aside from mitigating risks, is from what appears to be the extreme weather systems we have seen also in the last decade. Im not sure if we receive more precipitation, but it sure does come down in much larger amounts at once then I recall it ever used too on more frequent basis.

And that’s why neighborhood's with old infrastructure have sewer back-ups, systems were designed for average, not average in 1 hour storms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, been quite a few people put in bad situations with the old systems not able to support the new rates of increased precipitation coming down in much shorter windows!

I would say the newer subdivisions where farm fields once were do a good job of managing water run off with the drainage ponds they incorporate into the design of the subdivisions. Bigger issue is the older areas. We have drainage ditches and the Holland River just down from us, when the sky opens up and dumps some water in short order, man does that river increase in size pretty quick. Other areas like ours that is older, do not have that and the water must go somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why the farmers can be working on them within 2-3 days of rain. The water is mover to a drainage ditch or creek in most cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
