The custom has spread but it has

material for the embanhment and
serves as a diversion drain. Some
times a short concrete dip is used for
the purpose of passing the water over
the road in a comparatively wide and
shallow flow instead of under it, A
dip is simply u pavement extending
the full width Of the roadway and
projected at each edge against under
mining by a cutoff wall e2Aending Is
inches below the bottom of the pave
ment. Instead of attempting to build
up a grade for this pavement, so as
to raise it above the flood water, the
dip follows the grade Of the wash, and
the water passes over it in time Of
flood. Where the deltas are so wide
and the country so undeVelOped as to
make the cost OF concrete dip eXces-
sive, the dips are surfaced with grav-
el and the downstream edge is protect
ed by a concrete cutoff wall. IN con-
nection with these drainage dips a "
shaped system OF dikes and bitches is
used, converglng toward the road If
it is desired to lead the flow from two
or more washes to a single dip, and
diverging toward the road when it is
better TO split the flow of a single
stream to more than one dip.
