stream runoff

shared by Barb Kanoy on 09 Feb 13 - No Cached
  • Dry Stream Does Double Duty
  • A streambed stops erosion and enhances the landscape
  • A dry streambed—one that has water running in it only in wet weather—can secure the soil and direct rainwater runoff while turning an eyesore into an appealing garden feature.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • a dry stream—a shallow swale lined with stone substantial enough to withstand a serious downpour. Large chunks of stone or concrete, termed rip-rap, are sometimes dumped on creek embankments to slow the speed of storm water and to prevent erosion.
  • also provides an ideal place for plants.
  • Creating a gentle curve in a streambed results in a more natural appearance and serves to reduce the velocity of the water
  • creates areas for major plant groupings
