In this study, the shallow dish cross-section roadside ditch was designed, based on highway 304 line from Yanchi to Hongjing of Ningxia Province. The hy- draulic calculation of the shallow ditch obtained the corresponding water outlet dis- tance of the ditch with the width of 1.5 m or 2 m suitable for local use under dif- ferent groove longitudinal slope conditions. And the key roadside ditch construction techniques and suitable grass species were introduced.
