Good day,

I'm in agreement with you Claude. It's how much water stays on your land that 
counts:)

Anyway I am surrounded by high ridges. Water streaming down has carved out 
good size drainage ways sometimes over 10' in diameter that wend their way 
through the farm. 

After heavy rains some are pretty full, and may even overflow the drainages. 
yet in a few days they are often empty and start drying up. I'd also like to 
find inexpensive ways to slow it down or dam it up. Wish I had a few beavers. 
There are some great pond/lake sites ways.
 Often water is also dumped where I do not want it.  

Look forward to some lively discussion. Thanks. Frank
