This book addresses the construction and maintenanceÂ
of unpaved rural roads including strategies, techniquesÂ
and practices for dealing with problems frequentlyÂ
encountered by landowners, land managers andÂ
maintenance personnel. Running water is the primaryÂ
force affecting road condition and generating the needÂ
for maintenance. Economical maintenance meansÂ
dealing effectively with water, but not just surface runoff.Â
Standing water, seeping water, rain, snow, ice, frost andÂ
even a lack of water can contribute to road maintenanceÂ
needs. [Excerpted from Water Harvesting from Low-Standard Rural Roads by Bill Zeedyk]
