The problem: water streams down this trail and rushes against the foundation of the community kitchen, where it slows and deposits silt, endangering the foundation.

Solution: a speed bump berm at just the right spot and then I'll make a channel that sends it to the right, where I'll cut an infiltration pond to give a couple pines the water. It'll have an overflow that crosses the road where the existing channels and ponds will handle it.

But it's not just the trail. Water sheets down the whole hillside there.

Solution: An on-contour swale to slow and sink the water. As the swale approaches the trail, I've added a small grade so if the swale fills, water will go to the new infiltration pond and channel.

Looking down the trail from the composting toilets to the community kitchen.  water streams down this lowest point in the landscape and deposits silt against the foundation.Looking up that trail, the water from it goes to the left.  But water also sheets down that whole hillside and deposits silt on the road.

First step to cutting #Swales is building a landscape contour level.

Pretty easy. connect a couple lengths of wood together to form a /\

Then find and check a level surface. attach a cross piece between to make an A such that the cross piece is perfectly level.

Tape a level to the cross piece. Or if you don't have one, use a string and plumb bob from the top of the A, and draw a line where it crosses the cross piece when level.

Then you just plant one leg and move the other around until it's level. drop flags or stakes at the legs. then lift one leg and 180 it and find the next level spot. drop a flag or stake. Keep doing this and you'll mark a contour line across the landscape pretty quickly.

If you need a drainage swale, put a 1-2" block under one leg when you set level on the cross piece. you have to keep the contour level oriented the same way. but now your flags will mark out a contour with a slight drainage grade.

Two pieces of wood with a cross piece to make an "A" shape.  A level is on the ground to confirm a flat surface.  another smaller level is taped to the cross piece.
