Drainage Systems

Montgomery Soil and Water Conservation District deals primarily with surface water drainage systems in agricultural or rural settings.  A typical group drainage project design might include one or several components such as a grassed waterway, subsurface tile, or open ditch.  Financing a project may be done through a volunteer process, or through a process outlined in Chapter 1515 of the Ohio Revised Code.  See Project Protocol link below.
