Synopsis
How gully control works and why it matters for erosion-prone landscapes
This nonfiction work explains how early gully-control structures were designed, built, and evaluated in the Colorado Front Range. It covers methods, measurements, and the lessons learned from field applications like the Nursery gully system and Trout Creek watershed. The focus is on practical approaches to stabilize channels, protect banks, and manage sediment.
The book combines field observations, construction details, and design considerations to show what helps or hinders success. It discusses how peak flows, dam spacing, and material choices affect outcomes, with real-world examples from projects completed in the 1930s and later.- How check dams and weirs influence channel shape and sediment deposition
- Guidelines for selecting durable materials and proper protection of gully banks
- The role of vegetation and bank stabilization in long-term success
- Key design rules and common design mistakes to avoid
