Summary

This shows the white bank of a "surge dam" and the collection banks which control flood water on the granite ridge. Excess water then joins the level bank system, all of which have a safe disposal on another granite ridge before final delivery to the main creek. The dozer cleaned off old rock leaks to improve the line of contour working by seeding and harvesting machines.

This image is part of the WISALTS (Whittington Interceptor Sustainable Agriculture Land Treatment Society Incorporated) Collection.
