- W2204836959 abstract "IN T R O D U C T IO N One of the most important phases of the county highway operation is highway drainage and erosion control. Adequate control is essential for safe and convenient operation of motor vehicles in all weather as well as for achieving reasonable economy in maintaining the highway system. The cost of controlling water on and near the highway is a signifi cant part of total highway expense. It is estimated that 25 per cent of road construction cost goes directly for drainage facilities. In a mainte nance operation it is probable that the percentage is much greater. W hat does this mean for your county? The average county highway budget is greater than half a million dollars. If yours is an average county, then you spend in the neighborhood of $150,000 directly or indirectly for drainage every year. How much of this goes towards better roads and how much just to “staying even” with Mother Nature? The answer depends on how well you get to the roots of the problem and how much you simply struggle with the effects of a bad situation. Drainage and erosion control involves the removal of excess surface and underground water occurring on and near the highway right-ofway. Its importance stems from the needs of our society to move in creasing amounts of traffic in all weather conditions, safely and with a minimum of delay, coupled with the fact that excess water is one of the most destructive effects imposed on highways. W ater falling on roads and not removed promptly, seeps into lower layers of the pave ment, weakening the soil, sometimes completely destroying its stability and undermining the capacity of the pavement to carry traffic. Further more, water traveling over exposed earth surfaces has tremendous power to move soil, with the frequent result that material is removed from places where we want it, and deposited just exactly where we do not want it. Soil removed from slopes is dumped in ditches. Embankments are gouged out. Structures are undermined. Ditches are filled with" @default.
