[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1819028, member: 43196"] Whatever you do, DON'T DOZE A SHALLOW "V". That would be a disaster after the first thunderstorm. Your created channel would concentrate the water flow and turn it into an erosive, destructive, high velocity torrent of water! Now that I read it again....... It seems you might have the right idea. However, don't do this without consulting an engineer! Go to your local NRCS office and tell them what you have and ask them to send out an engineer to take a look. The engineer(s) might be busy for awhile before they can get to you, but definitely worth the wait. The NRCS also has financial assistance for these things through EQIP, EWP, and possibly (probably doesn't qualify for) CSP. Based on your description, it sounds like your 'waterway' would require drainage tile. The engineer can calculate how much. [/QUOTE]
