Hydrologic Design of Farm Ponds and Rates of Runoff for Design of Conservation Structures in the North Appalachian Region - Softcover
Synopsis
This book details the hydrologic design of farm ponds, containing vital information for the design of other conservation structures and practices in important agricultural areas where the author conducted hydrologic studies. Based on runoff, rainfall, and other data collected over many years, the author provides simplified instructions for planning small farm ponds, explaining how to determine the size of drainage area required to fill the pond and maintain an adequate supply of usable water. Providing tables and figures to illustrate concepts, the author covers topics such as seepage losses, pond sedimentation, and the need to minimize reservoir silting. The book also includes data on rates of runoff for use in the design of conservation structures on agricultural areas up to 100 acres, along with information on flood-peak runoff rates for watersheds in the North Appalachian Region. The book is significant in providing practical guidance and data for the hydrologic design of farm ponds and conservation structures, emphasizing the importance of considering factors such as drainage area, soil type, and land use to ensure the efficient and sustainable management of water resources in agricultural areas.
