FnC, that's exactly where I was going. Ground cover may be difficult, so diversion terraces may also be a solution. My experience with water flow leads me to believe that water speed is a bigger issue than water volume. 100 gallons of water flowing at 50 GPM should cause more damage than 100 gallons flowing at 5 GPM.
