We had a pretty good downpour last night in about a 8 hour period. I'm not sure of amount, but I do know we had some significant flooding in our area. I had some pretty large/heavy rocks that got pushed up to 20-30ft down the stream bed to give an idea of the force this stream is capable of. Anybody got any ideas or guidance to offer on how to create a dam scenario that can handle these types of heavy rain events? I've researched ways to disperse some of the force of the water before it enters the area I'm attempting to turn into a pond and will incorporate anything I can to do so, but I'm curious as to how to let water out fast enough, before I dam it up. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow if it'll help.
