Water Management Tubo

Each year the flow of water during rains has gotten much more intense.  This opening project was to reroute the tubo that went under the "temporary" driveway and down a cascada next to out house.  Over time, with other construction adding huge volumes of water we've lost an enormous amount of land due to wash  outs. 

This rerouting is to take that water and send it down the OLD way, as the mountain was forming.  There will still be need for a cascada there, and some additional stormwater management; but overall, rerouting was the right thing to do. 







This first photo shows the tubo going under the driveway up at the collector above our "temporary" driveway. 








You can see the soil filled in over that "wound" in the drive. 








This shows the block zaccate back in place with tubo running under it. 

This  shows how the water collector was patched and a new hole made in the side to take water to the right.  This should also slow down water as it hits that "wall" and is diverted to the right. 










This last photo shows the patched driveway.  Now there is NO tubo running under the concrete in front of the Hyundai "Tooksun"  The wall in the center of this photo will be knocked down as part of the new wall system going in now. 

The place where the Tucson is won't hold vehicles in a couple of months.  Instead the new parking pad will be past that low wall at the photo center, and where the Tucson is will be part of the courtyard and new 'inside' space.  The outside wall of the new courtyard will run from the collector in the lower left corner of the photo and cross on the right side of that dip in the center wall. All of the concrete pavement in front of the Tucson will be removed.  Much of that will be garden off the courtyard.
