TYPE OF DRAINAGE
SURFACE DRAINAGE :
Surface drainage is the removal of water that

collects on the land surface

A surfaces drainage system consists of shallow
ditches and should include land smoothing or
land grading
This type of system is suitable for all slowly
permeable soils and for soils with fragipans or
clay subsoils
The rate at which water is removed by surface
drainage depends on several interrelated factors
, including rainfall , soil properties and cropping
patterns

 For most row crops , a surface drainage

system should remove excess water within
24 to 48 hour ( 2 days )
More rapid removal may be necessary for
higher value truck crops

 UNDERGROUND SURFACE
DRAINAGE:
Underground drainage is water drainage which is routed
underground , rather than along the surface
There are a number of reasons to choose underground
drainage and such systems need to be installed with
care
People need to make sure that they drain to the correct
location ,and they are installed with materials which are
study and will able to withstand incursions such as roots
