Reply To: Module 2: Mitigating Erosion

There may be too many erosion issues on my place to get an estimate of the actual economic impact, unfortunately lol. There is one, though, that I have a clear idea on and that is a bend in the river that is washing away and is in danger of washing out my irrigation ditch. I have a permit to rip rap it and an estimated cost of $20,000.  I would prefer to try LTPBR here.  I believe the Low-Bank Builder and live stakes could be used here.

I also have some dry land areas that are prone to head cutting.  Holly and I build our first Zuni Bowl in a small one and there is a large one that I have not addressed yet but will include photos.

I would like to do some work on the streams on my property to help slow the flow rate and hopefully bring the groundwater closer to the surface, improving the health of the ecosystem which would of course have a huge economic impact as well.

I am very open any thoughts or advice anyone might have…I have attatched some photos.
