Soil erosion is associated with many problems, the immediate ones being the degradation of the soil and eventual desertification of the given surface of the land. The surface runoff carries with it the important nutrients that are supposed to support the growth of vegetation. Once the nutrients and vegetation are swept off, the soil cannot support new growth. The good news is that there is a solution for this problem. The silt socks in New Hampshire are an example of a perfect solution that has been placed to tackle this problem.
Focus the sort of channel that you wish to introduce in your yard. An essential well could be an option. However, the basic French drainage can also work just as well. The two are the common in-ground drainage systems that ensure that water drains from the house or the compound without any problem.
However, leaving the area too steep is dangerous as it can direct water to some areas where it should not go. This can lead to destruction of valuable properties. In the similar manner, depressions should not be left on the surface as they encourage water to accumulation on the surface after rain. These are example of factors that lead to the construction of a drainage system.
Before you start this, any electrical or gas lines must be located. The utility providers should be able to furnish you with this information. The local authorities might also be helpful for this purpose. After locating the underground cables and pipes, go ahead to determine the places that are lower level as compared to that of the house. Generally, you will not need much space for the drainage system. Any small low lying area is good enough. Once the right spot has been determined, it is time to buy the necessary tools and equipment from the nearby hardware store.
A regular or ordinary ground well of 4-inch to 6-inch tunnel for drainage construction. In some cases, it may be difficult to locate any typical perforated pipe and the solution is to puncture and ordinary pipe using a standard power drill. Stage the area of the trench for the channel-pipe and imprint the area with paint. Be sure the trench for any channel lies near to the downspout of the drains.
Even with many different materials that can be used, each region, and different circumstances may dictate that a particular material is to be used as opposed to the other. Normally, the materials used can be recycled several times and must, therefore, be environmentally friendly.
On the completion of a dry well, the trench is then dug to the downspout. This trench must be dug to be on the same level as the dry well. However, if the French drain is to be added, there is no need for the gap to cater for the dry well. On completion of the trench, 3-inch layer of crushed gravel is added so that it can aid a simple drainage of water into the soil.
In New Hampshire, in particular, soil erosion has been a nuisance, negatively affecting agriculture and housing projects. With this solution, there should be no headache anymore. The farms, ranches, construction sites, homesteads, and other areas can be properly secured and the biodiversity properly protected. It is cheap to construct and maintain, and yet the benefits are numerous.
