Does anyone have any ideas how to set up a sediment trap or catch basin to prevent muddy water from entering a lake?
Land upstream was recently purchased by another land owner and the property line was cleared. This area feeds the lake, but because of the area being cleared, I am getting muddy water into my lake. This area has been one of the primary sources of new water, but is not the only source. However, the water can be moderate to substantial due to the topography.
I am looking at ways to control the flow into the lake or to at least prevent the sediment from ruining the lake.
Btw, I love this site!
