This book addresses the construction and maintenance 

of unpaved rural roads including strategies, techniques 

and practices for dealing with problems frequently 

encountered by landowners, land managers and 

maintenance personnel. Running water is the primary 

force affecting road condition and generating the need 

for maintenance. Economical maintenance means 

dealing effectively with water, but not just surface runoff. 

Standing water, seeping water, rain, snow, ice, frost and 

even a lack of water can contribute to road maintenance 

needs. [Excerpted from Water Harvesting from Low-Standard Rural Roads by Bill Zeedyk]
