Unclogging HUGE Dam That Has FLOODED Property for Years

The water won't stop flooding the property! The new pond is overflowing and could destroy the berm holding back over a million gallons of water. I dug a spillway for the extra water to flow through, and discovered a drainage ditch that has been dammed up from years of sediment, leaves, fallen trees, brush, you name it!
Tag along as I unclog over 500ft of dammed up water, and start draining all this water!
Lucky for us it isn't a beaver dam and having to deal with them constantly rebuilding it, but Mother Nature sure has a way of making things happen whether you plan on it or not.

That was quite a nice wetland frog bog you had there. I bet there are a lot of diverse species of plants and animals in there. at least 5 kinds of mosquitos, my guess. Seasonal flooding areas are rich nurseries for many species of birds and amphibians. Did you notice the frog songs quit about the time you got half way down the slough. Looked like most of the obstructions you cleared were cut logs someone left as they fell.

I used to work as a groundskeeper on a historic woodland estate here in the UK, part of which was built on ancient marshland, we pretty much had to do this at least once a year in summer to drain the clog of debris that built up, so many dead leaves! The tannin in the water stopping them from rotting away. Then having to re-dig a channel to a river with the Kubota, my god I could smell it again as I watched you.

Wont have to worry about it long after a few seasons, the runoff wont settle and refill the ground water, and the whole place will dry up. And 50 years from now someone will save the place and restore the ground water so it will be green again. Places such as that are what holds and allows the water to work itself into the ground and slowly be released back into the streams.

Notice that he didn't dig down? He didn't create a new ditch. He was just trying to remove the excess surface water which appears when his (expanded) pond overflows. Without doing that, many of the trees would die off and there would actually be far less groundwater in the future, once the sun was glaring down on the treeless soil. That land will still see some pooling of small amounts of water doing it the way he did.

Now all it gets is gross runoff water from the road and runoff water from surrounding property. Hasn’t been a stream in decades. The water never stays and it’s always gross.

Don't you'll lose all your soil and cause damage to your land. First figure out how often it floods then work out how much.doil you want to loose. As you see those logs was cut by chain saw as a rehabilitation project. Swampy ground ok it does lots of good filters out compost builds soils. Fast flowing does the opposite I'm 70 yrs old now and learned before I did anything studied the land zoned it own 105 acres and it's health and good though a.22 year drought and three floods. All good got most of the boofhead up the roads soil and tank earned him but he's like old mate here lol

They absolutely do. They create riparian habitat. Some of it looks to be permanently flooded while other parts appear to be intermittent or seasonal indicated by the flooded grasses and dry or moist soil dwelling plants. It creates great habitat for amphibians, waterfowl, wading birds, water and wetland insects, minnows and fish fry, etc. New wetland species will often appear which provide shelter and food sources for wildlife. They help collect and store groundwater and prevent erosion. If it’s not causing any problems or nuisance it can positively impact the ecosystem and resources of the entire property.

While it is more aesthetically pleasing to have the gully cleaned out, having stuff in there is actually better for the environment. Slowing water flow gives greater water adsorption into the soil, less erosion and reduces flood peaks down stream. Coming from an arid climate where creek ecosystems were turned into drainage ditches, they found that slowing the water flow through the landscape had great benefits for farms and the environment.
@hurstyoutdoors
@hurstyoutdoors Жыл бұрын
I agree, for this area though and the amount of rain we have received this year it's important to keep the overflow water from the pond moving and have it end up at the drainage ditch that goes all the way down to a swamp area, that's a half mile from me.

Or, rent/borrow a small dozer and knock the path down followed by a digger to deepen the channel a bit. Long term you need a clear path and defined drainage IMO.

I’d start at the downstream end and work upstream, that way the next upstream section is draining and you don’t have to slog thru deep water. The way he did it, the upstream water, as he released it, was flowing ahead of him and flooding the downstream blocked areas even more, making the work harder for him.

Plenty of ground water still remains but brought back a lot of native species that are already growing back again. Glad it's done!
