Water flows downhill?! Who knew?:shocked:
To reduce sediment over a long run, especially if your streams drop a fair amount in elevation over their distance, one can incorporate small settling ponds to allow rocks placed in them to slow the water's flow and to sift out floating and submerged sediment. Along with a sock encased perf drain pipe, or a couple of pipes running along side each other, this can be effective in maintaining flow and reducing sediment issues like plugged pipes, etc.
100 GPM is a LOT of water. Slowing it's speed will help a lot in controlling it's effective forces on the areas it runs through.
