    Interesting. I'm dealing with a similar issue. My neighborhood storm water runoff is funneled into a culvert that empties into the middle of my wooded lot. It had been ignored and abused for 25 years when I purchased the lot so the water had been going everywhere. I lost four large trees the first 18 months I was here due to oversaturated roots.
    This drainage path needs to handle frequent flash floods and it was nowhere close to be able to do that. I've been working finding the original drainage path, digging along it, and shoring up the sides. I find these videos to be very useful and practical. Thank you for posting them.

      Back when I was a Boy Scout we were taught not to travel hiking trails in the rain as to help preserve its integrity. To hike in parallel to them widens the trail and damages the surrounding environment.

    I'm doing something like this behind our house now, minus bridges and something like 200 feet long. There was a channel for water to flow over 10 years ago. We have a neighbor on one side and the water from all the backyards uphill past our fence comes down to us. I am not strong enough, but at least there are fewer points where the water stops. Years of leaves and fallen branches slowed the flow too much. I hope it helps cuz I can't afford a more high tech system. Gonna be sore tomorrow. Still needs work. So, here I am, watching videos about digging for drainage. I'm using a 30 year old shovel.

    Oh....I did this. I bought a house that had a hill about 6 ft high behind back patio. The first time it rained I had flooding to back door. So I go out in rain and start digging a trench about about a foot deep. all along the bottom...all the way out to driveway. Put a little gravel in later. The water was draining away from patio as I was digging. It worked great no problems for the seven years I lived there. I had day Lily’s along bottom edge of hill that covered the trench. Couldn’t even see it. I was so proud! P.S. My former husband stayed inside and enjoyed watching.

    To help with digging channels in this type of ground I would strongly recommend getting a mattock, I have one and I've sharpened both sides like axe heads, perfect for choppin roots and I even use mine for chopping chalk out when I need a square sided/bottom hole, I'm a construction worker and my main work is foundations, drains etc.

      They are relatively inexpensive now, so worth buying, even if it's for a small project.
