I need some help sorting out a swale riddle. A friend has asked to help her 
'fix' her swale that runs at the top of her suburban lot along the neighbors 
boundary line. It starts off on contour but at half way diverts slightly 
downward pushing most of the water in that direction. She cannot cut into the 
neighbors yard nor dip lower into her own to bring it up to contour. One end 
of the path definitely sits lower and pools the water. She suggests digging 
the path deeper toward the high end to share the deluge..
