RE: Why I Am Glad We Live On A Hill
We, too, are glad to live on a hill! Even though we are in the middle of "severe drought conditions" (according to the government), we are happy to be higher than everything else around when the rains do eventually come. Do you guys have any swales or anything on your land to prevent erosion and runoff?
Not really, but we haven't had a significant problem with erosion. There are low areas (we just refer to them as ditches) where the water naturally runs. Honestly not sure if these areas are man made or not. Preventing the runoff isn't really possible. If it wasn't for the runoff, the neighborhood would most likely see some sort of residential flooding. This type of rain event is not very common. This is the worst we have seen it in the 6 years we have lived here.
