Morgan County Educational Farm Culvert Design

Author: Carmen Agouridis

Planning Unit: Biosystems & Agr Engineering

Major Program: Backyard Streams

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The Morgan County Educational Farm experienced flooding in their barns due to a failing culvert. The culvert was supposed to transfer water underneath a farm road to a stream. The periodic flooding threatened a new water harvesting system that was installed under the guidance of Dr. Steve Higgins. Dr. Agouridis designed a new culvert for the farm. The new culvert alleviated flooding of the barns.


The former culvert was failing do to a blocked entrance and crushed pipe.
