NEVER use sketch circles to verify the minimum slope.
Why did you continue swales that head east uphill of the display?

Thanks for the response.

Why are sketch circles bad for checking a minimum slope?

Here is a second try, without the swales continuing upwards - is there anything wrong here?

Thanks!

Thanks for the response.

Why are sketch circles bad for checking a minimum slope? Basic geometry. You can't use them to measure distances that are NOT a straight line...like when your swale bends around a corner.

Here is a second try, without the swales continuing upwards - is there anything wrong here? VERY wrong. Very clearly failing. You made it much worse.

Thanks!

Why did you create berms?
Not even close to meeting the minimum slope requirement.
Did you look at the link in my earlier post?

Charming.


I didn't see the link before - I read that post and it makes more sense now.
