      Anyone have a favorite method for telling someone the project they've undertaken is just a staggeringly bad idea as they've chosen to execute it?

      Our neighbor has taken on a seasonal stream diversion project that's pretty much bound to wash his road out, based on his description of the plan.

      His land and our land sit in a tilted trough of land between a few sets of hills and ridges. We're higher upslope than him. The surrounding 70 acres of land drain down the trough come rainy season, in a channel a few feet wide and deep at peak.

      This seasonal creek seems to just really bug him, and he's decided to try to fill the portion that's on his land. With rocks and straw. Instead of accepting he can't use that 4x100 piece of his land?

      As someone who's taken a few classes in the subject, maybe i have special knowledge, but this seems like it should be an obviously bad idea to even the layman. This drainage channel has been cut over literally tens of thousands of years

      He's fighting the basic topology of like 100 acres of land, and a few hundred feet of elevation change.

      His plan to get a tiny fraction more of his land available for planting will absolutely flood at least an acre or two, and possibly wash out his road -- as well as the bottom of ours

      If he wanted to build a dam to craft a stock pond, with a spillway draining downstream, I'd be all for it. Increased water retention & infiltration is good here in the West! But I don't think he knows he's effectively building a dam.

      It seems obvious to me that rocks, boulders and straw plus silt = dam but i guess that's not universal.

      I can't figure out how/whether to lay all this out for him on a topo map, or if i should just let it fail from a distance, hope it's not quite bad enough to take out my road, and hope he learns his lesson

      If he wants that land back so bad he should drop perforated drainage pipe in there, gravel over it, weed barrier / geocloth over that, topsoil over the top. but, yeah, filling it in is just going to wash all the fill downstream ...plus more

          Right? There's a way to do it and get the result he wants, but that is not the method he's selected

          My reaction to the same stream was "ok, I won't plant my orchard trees in that crease. Moving on."
