Water running downhill causes soil erosion and allows the water to be wasted.This can be reduced or eliminated in farmed areas with:

  • contour plowing in fields
  • construction of diversion drains (ditches at the locations in the fields to direct the water to storage lagoons
In open land (not farmed) plants with expensive root systems can hold more water and decrease erosion by slowing the loss

In housing projects and similar::

  • diversion yes o r ditches can redirect flows
  • elimination of hard surfaces such as clay and replacement with sandy or foamy soil held place with shrubs or bushes can decrease the elate r volumes and flow velocity.
An extreme example of water flow is the terraced rice paddies in China which capture and hold water in series of stepped dykes ... similar methods to retain water in fields are in use around the world.
