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..
