One of our drainage fights involved a family whose old man had covered over 3 culverts under a road that ran water into a natural waterway onto one of his son's land. He had the culverts covered during the dry years when my uncle was supposed to be farming the land after Grandpa died, but spent most of his time in the beer hall.
When we took over the land and the wet years returned, we tried to get the township to open the old culverts, but the old cronies said that we'd have to locate the old culverts. Dad hired a guy from the National Guard to come out on a Saturday and he located 3 culverts. The township board were buddies of the land owner so backed off opening the culverts. Dad got the county drain board involved and they gave the landowner the option of paying for a mile of new ditch on our side of the road and put in larger culverts on each end of the mile to get the water into the county drain system.
The land owner paid dearly to keep the water from getting into the natural waterway - and in the end he could flood two of his brother's lands on each end with the new ditch and culverts, so that became a family fight. They were the kind of people that, it they couldn't fight with the neighbors, they would fight each other.
