Hi,

Two years ago I installed a few hundred feet (several lines) of drain tile, stone, and mesh. I live towards the bottom of a hill with shallow water tables. Most of the runs have water flowing year round into a ditch. Since the PVC pipe has stone under it the water tends to flow under not through the pipe. I am starting to see the area around the pipe erode. I may also see if there is a way to collect the water into small plastic ponds. What would be a reasonable way to get the draining water to flow through the pipe. The best I'm coming up with is damming the base and sides of the pipe with clay to cause a temp backup and force it through the pipe like I desire.

Thanks in advance,

Jon
