Engineering Field Manual for Conservation Practices. Chapter 7. Grassed Waterways

摘要

The aim of the chapter of the Engineering Field Manual is to provide information on the planning, design, layout, and construction of grassed waterways. The grass-lined waterway is one of the most commonly used conservation practices. It is used--as outlets for diversions and terraces; as outlets for surface and subsurface drainage systems on sloping land; to convey water collected by road ditches or discharged through culverts; to rehabilitate natural draws carrying concentrations of runoff.
