Book (stand-alone)Materials for subsurface land drainage systems
FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper 60
2005Also available in:
Reliable subsurface drainage systems for groundwater table and salinity control are needed to maintain or enhance the productivity of irrigated lands and to contribute to the rural development of lowlands in the humid tropics. The purpose of this Paper is to provide this practical information to drainage engineers and contractors. This Paper is based on the current knowledge of water flow into drainpipes and envelopes, their properties and applicability. -

No results found.Drainage of agricultural land is one of the most critical water management tools for the sustainability of productive cropping systems, as frequently this sustainability is extremely dependent on the control of waterlogging and soil salinization in the rootzone of most crops. On some agricultural lands, the natural drainage is sufficient to maintain high productivity. However, many others require improvements in surface and subsurface drainage in order to optimize land productivity, wh ile maintaining the quality of soil resources. As time passes, drainage requirements may change because of changes in the general socio-economic conditions, such as input and output prices, and more intensive crop rotations.
