Land gets runoff from thousands of acres of others land.

The runoff in our area works it's way down to a lake 30 miles away.

You would have to start with the farmer at the highest elevation and work your way down getting everybody onboard to install one for it to have a meaningful benefit.

I think the idea would run into resistance.

Some would say for example,

I am not going to install one as all our land is pasture and hay, and I do not apply commercial fertilizer.

Or

Why would I want to invest my land, time and money into somebody else's problem.

Or

There are swamps on my property that already do what your wood box does and they are maintenance free.

I lean towards what ss55 has said, basically figure out how to fix the problem where it originates instead of spending a fortune trying to mitigate the damage after the fact.
