[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7806656, member: 2119"] And at a practical level would I be doing any good or wasting my time by installing a few small dams to raise the water level retained in our watercourses, so the bed width is greater, flow slower and more silt settles out? I’m only talking about 24” or so, nothing major. My only reservation about this approach is that our culvert pipes for gateways etc already serve as dams yet have not stopped the watercourse deepening either side of them. There are such high flows in winter that the turbulence seems to kind of hoover up the silt and carry it away. (Dad had noticed this deepening and he used to reckon the Earth or landscape here had tilted more so there was a steeper slope across the place.) [/QUOTE]
