I find this rather fasinating and also confusing,
If water from land uphill from one property is flowing onto another property down hill,the property Uphill has the responsibility to divert the water before entering ones neighbour,therefore the ditch should be on the Uphill side of the boundary,
Well that`s how it works in Wales anyway,but it all gets complicated when farms are broken up and sold.
I dare say things are different on flatish wetlands,where the ditches/dykes are the boundaries. |
Yes, you could be right on the last point but I would imagine that, on uplands, you're wanting to avoid the neighbours water entering your land? The neighbour wouldn't care, as he's getting rid of it however?
Also, you don't want water rushing straight into a dyke and taking your soil & nutrients with it, better to slow it down and filter out the soil with a hedge/bank, perhaps. |
