Thanks for all the great pointers. I probably have no less than 500 dry dams that we farm, but they have all been professionally built by contractors. This is my first go at doing a job myself, and I want to learn and do it efficiently and cost effectively. Some contractors build them to specs that make the most money for them and some build them so they can be farmed right with big equipment. A peaked dam with 15' between the riser and the peak falls in the former category!

Regarding watering in the tile, these inlets are offset from the main line, so I assume that would help prevent blow outs in the dam -- maybe not completely, but helps?
