I dont know the right way to do it, you've got a lot going on there. The way we would handle something like that is run a tile up to each of the road culverts and put an intake riser pipe inside of a rock lined basin to get the water underground as soon as possible. Riser pipes are a pain to live with and maintain. Hickenbottom is another name for what I call a riser pipe intake.
Edit: if your neighbors' "swales" are fanned out over a wide area, you could make a French drain....shallow tile covered with leach field gravel and maybe filter fabric. Preferably in a basin to lessen runoff.
I see the hickenbottom .. so it lets water fall underground into a pipe. do you connect it to a non perforated pipe?
I have controlled the swales a little bit, i dug trench by hand to help. The most flowing swale is the first one all the way to the right, i have it going down the steepest part of the hill, however i think it naturally wants to flow the way of the runoff, so i think i'm getting water sheeting underground essentially flooding the hill to the left and also going downhill flooding the lower field. |
Need help with surface & subsurface drainage on hillside and field
