Create new wetlands or wetland banks for water storage and filtration purposes. Utilize historical ditches where appropriate. In the Dungeness area it was found that when some ditches were tight-lined (solid pipes were used to channel the water), the wells went dry, indicating the ditches were good sources for recharging the aquifer. Roadside ditches could be rerouted and widened to promote infiltration.
