Description
The purpose of this field guide is to provide guidelines for maintaining upland roadside ditches in rural northern areas in a way that reduces sediment and pollutant loads to waterways. This information will help prevent erosion and maintain good water conveyance. The guide offers practical advice and illustrations to hands-on maintenance workers, ditch maintenance contractors, and local (township) road supervisors who maintain ditches.
