I used what I learned about swales through permaculture to design the hill project, but besides that I designed it myself. It took years to figure out what to do, though :) It was an intimidating project, still is, since it's in my front yard where anyone can see it. Let me know if you want help figuring out your "small river."Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14956571547950713636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835733065607135506.post-38293336747622381322012-04-16T15:47:06.431-05:002012-04-16T15:47:06.431-05:00I am very impressed with your water management.

You have inspired me to see if there is anyway creative way to deal with it.

The most amazing thing for me is that it wasn't all that difficult to do. Of course I had help to make it go faster...but still.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14956571547950713636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835733065607135506.post-91576724902264319472012-04-15T11:55:56.413-05:002012-04-15T11:55:56.413-05:00It was fun to assemble too!
