[QUOTE="BigBear56, post: 1629835, member: 38461"] I am no expert on the subject but my FIL is. He’s installed culvert pipes for many years and he said there is a drastic difference in 1 pipe vs 2 or big culvert vs bridge. I experienced this at my house. Had an 18” culvert pipe in that was constantly being overflowed by the creek. So I put 2 18” culverts in. Got better but didn’t solve problem. My FIL said to put in 1 36” pipe. Didn’t make sense to me. But it worked. I think it has to do with with the disruption on flow when you force it thru 2 pipes vs 1 or a culvert vs bridge. I’m sure somewhere out there are some formulas for this. I know he measures the ditch size to calculate culvert size. [/QUOTE]
