This year and last has been a prolonged gully washer. 4 inches of rain has fallen lately, causing water to carve deeper into the surrounding land. Building dams is the main way I hope to help stop the deepening canyons.

Flood waters
The vernal ponds were all full of water from the 3 inch rain event on August 31. The pond worked on in the past post Old Ponds Renewed was at the fullest level of water so far.
Another Flood
More rain came and caused more flooding of the pond. Water rolled over the top of the dam. The Emergency Spillway was going full blast too. The stream knocked out the barbed wire fence. A waterfall was gushing with all the water, too.
