Land drainage
Drainage:
The meaning of the term drainage is actually the process of removing
fluid or anything like a wound cavity using the methods of suction or
gravity. The term has its different meanings in the fields of medicine,
agriculture, mining and even psychology. Psychologically speaking, drainage
means releasing all the conflicts or other emotions in the mind by expressing
them all. Drainage in agriculture means removing the excess water that
exists in the soil of the agricultural farm. The task can be accomplished
by using a system of surface ditches. Underground conduits are a good
option too if the soil conditions and land contours permit. At times,
Diesel or centrifugal pumps work well too. They are generally used in
order to drain large agricultural lands. In mining, drainage is nothing
but removing water that has seeped into shafts and the other mine workings.
Draining land:
In order to drain land, generally geotextile filters are used. The benefit
is that they retain and prevent the very fine particles of the soil from
clogging the drain by entering into it. They are basically synthetic
fabrics that are prepared for the applications in civil and environmental
engineering. While draining land, it is important that the soil particles
allow the water particles to pass through. Course material like gravel,
sea shells, stone and rock can be used to lay down along a trench used
for the purpose of draining. Then it is time to fold the geotextile over
the top of the stone and now the soil is covered. This is how the ground
water seeps through the fabric and flows within trench. The benefits
of drainage are many. However, the benefits of land drainage may also
depend on how the farm is conditioned and managed after the job is done.
The technique helps lower the unit cost of production and makes you more
competitive. It reduces soil erosion and helps in the process of reducing
the phosphorus content of streams. The yield of some crops like soybeans
and corn increases by around one-third or half when draining is done.
A properly drained soil carries more livestock per acre and the damage
caused to the soil is lessened as compared to soil that is poorly drained.
Drainage System Maintenance:
Most of the subsurface clay tiles that were installed over 100 years ago have broken down because of freezing and thawing, been crushed from the weight of modern equipment and the overlying soil, or are clogged with sediment and plant residue....
