How do you measure a downgrade so that you can dig a drain culvert through uneven ground . . . so that the drain tile will really drain?

One possibility suggested is to drive fence posts into ground at begining and end of the area and tightly tie a string and then LEVEL the string before measuring the distance from string to the ground at each fence post. Is there a better way?

What Is The Difference CT and PT?
A CT is used to measure current, and is NOT referenced to ground, and has very low primary impedance. A PT is used to measure voltage, is referenced to ground, and has a much higher impedance (since it is referenced to ground).
Can you use ohm-meter to measure a resistance between the neutral line N and the ground E?
If the meter is sensitive enough and there is a resistance between the neutral and ground then the meter should be able to detect it.
Is the voltage on a 120 volt fluorescent lighting circuit the same from line to neutral and line to ground?
Yes, to the precision you can measure it. If it isn't you need to check the ground to neutral bonding at main panel and check the wiring in the circuit for loose connections.
How to calculate head presure of a water tank?
Just measure the elevation of the max water height above the ground (or whatever reference level you wish to use).
Electrons flow through a circuit from a power source and return to the power source via what?
a wire assumed to be at ground
How do brakes work on a long steep downgrade?
Their operation doesn't change in any way - they work the same way on a downgrade as they do on flat ground. Now the manner in which they're used will change - occasional snub braking will be used to regulate speed on the downgrade.
What happens to rainfall when the ground is saturated?
Water naturally goes with the downgrade so when the water can't go into the ground it flows down resulting in what we call a flash flood.
What is the property of soil that determines that water will soak through the ground?
This is porosity. You might also say that the soil is free-draining.
What is way to measure ground distance?
A good way to measure ground distance is by pace count.
What is used to measure the Richter scale?
A seismograph is used to measure ground movement or vibrations on the Richter scale.
How do you measure hockey stick curve?
For equipment legality purposes it is generally accepted that if you lay your stick down so the forehand (the inside curve) is on the ground a puck should not, or with resistance, pass through between blade and ground.
What is the term used to measure ground shaking?
seismogram
What are ways to measure ground distance?

What is the Richter scale to measure?
A seismograph is used to measure ground movement or vibrations on the Richter scale.
How does ponds get in caves?
Through ground water that has seeped through the ground and rain water that has traveled through the cave by streams.
What is a weather balloon?
Weather balloons typically carry a thermometer (to measure air temperature), a psychrometer (to measure humidity), a barometer (to measure air pressure) and a transmitter (to send the information through radio waves to equipment at the ground so we will know what the instruments are measuring up in the air)
