Following recent discussions at Retem in regard to the Retem System, I wanted to consolidate my thoughts on the critical role of surface finish on concrete ditch lining. Ditch lining is fundamental to efficient water management in agriculture and infrastructure and preventing erosion. Concrete, prized for its durability, is a prevalent lining material. With the surface finish significantly influencing the ditch's hydraulic behavior and structural integrity a thorough understanding of how smooth and rough finishes impact erosion resistance is essential for informed decision-making.
