swells

I have a wide mildly sloped site that drains a good part of my humble 8 acres. I would like to create swells to slow down the run off and have a veggie / fruit mix type space.

My question is how high does the backside of the swell, the capturing lip, need to be? How wide should the space between swells be to be effective at capturing the run off.

Anyone out there using swells?

Mike
