I have a low area in my backyard where allot of water accumulates and
takes forever to dry. What I did is that I dug out a trench from my
backyard to a nearby field that is about 40 feet away. The trench was
dug in a downward direction for drainage and at the end of the trench
I dug a well, which is just a hole in the ground about 6 feet deep so
water could drain into the hole and into the earth. The problem being
is that is there is so much water, the hole has already filled up and
the water has back right up into the trench right back to the
start !! So now what do I do ? I haven't even installed the french
drain yet.
Recommendations please.
Thanks.
