Hi Logan,
Recently Permies.com had sent out some emails where Geoff Lawton from Greening of the Desert had some great videos on how to make swales that lead to different dams on a perma culture acreage! I believe you can access them via this site or find him on you tube! either way I think its a great idea what your doing...water is the equivalent of our blood and should be treated as priceless!
