Saving water for the neighbors' wells

Since managing junipers, I've noticed that, after some good soakers, a lot of rainwater was running for weeks throughout the bottom of the land, which I call the bottom woodlands. At the beginning, I thought it was just the most awesome sight ever. Then the wheels in my head began to turn....hmm. 

The rainwater was leaving the land and traveling across the road to my neighbor's pond. Then the overflow from his pond was making its way to the Blanco River, and so on. As I pondered what to do, what to do, suddenly the thought hit me! THE TRAILS NEED TO BE RECONFIGURED! Since more and more people are moving to the area and needing water for their wells, I felt the need to try my best to keep the water on the land and let it soak in and enter the aquifer to help them out. After spending countless hours on trail modifications, it worked!
