Answer to Question 1

A diversion ditch is a trench dug to force runoff to move in some direction other than where it would normally
go. A diversion berm is a raised strip of soil for the same purpose.



Answer to Question 2

As many as 8,000 acres of U.S. farmland is converted to nonagricultural use daily. Construction on such sites
increases the magnitude of the erosion problem. Paved areas present severe runoff problems unless the more expensive
porous paving asphalt is used
