An underground outlet is a conduit or system of conduits installed beneath the ground surface to convey surface water to a suitable outlet. This video explores how Tyler Houlden implemented this practice in North Grafton, Massachusetts. Practice benefits:
• Improves water quality
• Reduces threat to groundwater
• Improves water management
• Decreases erosion
• Limits runoff
The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
