Ditch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (292 words) |
 | A ditch can be used for drainage, to drain water from low lying areas, alongside roadways or fields, or to channel water from a more distant source for plant irrigation. |
| Ditches are commonly seen around farmland especially in areas that have required drainage, such as The Fens in the UK and the pro-water management The Netherlands. |
| In Mediaeval fortification, a ditch was often constructed in front of a defensive wall to hinder sapping and escalade. |
| Ditch Maintenance (517 words) |
| Ditch assessments, or special assessments as listed on your tax bill, are a fund established by the county to maintain drainage ditches. |
| Therefore, properties closest to a ditch are assessed a higher percentage than properties at the outer edge of the watershed. |
| Also, not all drainage ditches are maintained; therefore, if the property is bordering or outside of the watershed, there may not be an assessment for maintenance. |
