A wonderful, informative interview with Les Seiler about 2-stage ditches. Jessica D’Ambrosio, now with The Nature Conservancy, did her Ph.D. research in Ag. Engineering at OSU on designing 2-stage ditches. As the video shows, at normal times, the water stays in a narrow ditch. During rain storms the water level rises and spreads over the shelf on each side of the ditch. Vegetation slows down the runoff, removing sediment and nutrients from the water. Thanks Dusty and Les.
