Effective culvert
Ineffective culvert
| Another feature of roads
that helps prevent erosion are culverts. Culverts divert excess water underneath a road and into an
area where water can be absorbed by vegetation before entering a lake. |
|
| On the left, example of
an effictive culvert, well
beneath the road surface, free of debris, not rusted, large enough to
accommodate expected max water volume. |
|
| Ineffective culvert on
right, too close to surface leads to damage, rusted, even a hole. Not very
effective at diverting water underneath the road. |
