Another day, another check dam.
Water naturally accumulates in valleys as it flows downslope, but fast moving water cannot be utilized by the plants & animals that need it.
#CheckDams are a simple way to slow down water so that the soil has a chance to utilize the moisture before it makes its way to streams & rivers.
Check dams can be made from whatever materials are available but I usually use rocks b/c that’s what we have an abundance of.
