In my youth I would help irrigate the west texas fields. The irrigation ditches were much like levees. The process was to drop a gate in the ditch which made the water back up filling the ditch. You had to start all these siphon hoses before the water went over the top, or as you said the whole side would wash away. If the ditch washed out it could take out the field. Like the flood, you couldn't just shut the water off if you started having trouble or it would just overtop somewhere back of whatever gate was dropped. TP
