By doing this often, runoff volume can be kept low, increasing the effectiveness of vegetation and duff layers that absorb it. Good maintenance saves money over the long run. Putting adequate money into a road improvement project at the beginning increases its longevity, thereby saving you money in the future. Plus, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you are protecting nearby streams and lakes. Construct crossways on a slope, angled downhill, to direct runoff from the road into a vegetated area.
Steep sections require deeper and more frequent waterbars.
