Media lunas come in two main varieties. A tips-down media luna is used to prevent erosion at the head of rills and gullies where sheetflow is being lost. A tips-up media luna is used to spread runoff and sediment where a channel transitions into an open depositional zone.
This video provides further information on the function and purpose of media lunas, and walks you through building a media luna step by step, with visual cues.
The videos in this series serve as visual companions to the Erosion Control Field Guide from Craig Sponholtz, Avery C. Anderson Sponholtz, and Watershed Artisans.
