Project Details

• Project: Residential farm water management
• Location: Pevely, Missouri
• Product: Hydraway 6″
• Application: Diverting natural spring water to establish new ponds.

Challenge: Consistent flooding from a natural spring created unusable areas across the farm. The objective was to manage this excess water effectively by creating two new ponds: one to enhance the property’s appearance and another to serve as a reliable water source for livestock, with the diverted spring water serving as the primary source for filling and maintaining these ponds. 

Solution: Hydraway was implemented in a French drain application, utilizing two vertical rows of 6-inch panels to create a drainage and water diversion system. This system effectively captured and diverted the natural spring water, channeling it to the desired locations to form the two new ponds. for livestock.

Result: The implementation of the Hydraway system successfully diverted the problematic natural spring water, resolving the flooding issue. The excess water captured by the Hydraway system was efficiently moved into the two newly established ponds, enhancing the landscape and providing a valuable water source for livestock.
