Suppose you lived in a hilly area with a lot of runoff what could you do to help the ground soak up more water?

Plant native vegetation to increase root systems that can absorb water, create swales or berms to slow down runoff and allow water to infiltrate, and build rain gardens or permeable surfaces to facilitate water absorption into the ground. Implementing these strategies can help reduce erosion, prevent flooding, and recharge groundwater in hilly areas with high runoff.
