My apologies. I kept forgetting to post this. I like to see this every month. Seeing these floods made me think just how much water is 12 inches of rain per acre. The answer is 325,851 gallons. For every 1% increase in Soil Organic Matter your garden can store an additional 25,000 gallons per acre underground. You could dig swales (curvy trenches) to absorb water and to take the overflow to a pond .
