Heading: Basin D and Ditch 3

Text: 39 Basin D is in the central portion of 80 acres which adjoin the main portion of the farm at the southwest. Ditch 3 runs east from Basin D. 40 Judge Devitt found that the government produced evidence that Ditch 3 had been constructed. 41 There was evidence that Basin D was filled with water in May, 1979, and a ditch was constructed heading east from D through woods to a downhill gradient. In May, 1980, Basin D was cultivated and not well defined. By August, 1981, Basin D could hardly be seen under standing crop. 42 The finding is not clearly erroneous. Although restoration, presumably filling, of Ditch 3, is not referred to in the judgment, restoration of Basin D is ordered, and necessarily includes prevention of drainage through Ditch 3.
