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 tropic. This publication presents guidelines to assess the need for envelopes and for the selection of appropriate materials (i.e. pipes and envelopes) for the proper and lasting performance of subsurface drainage systems. In addition, it also contains guidelines for adequate installation and maintenance of drainage materials as well as the required specifications and standards of such materials, which may be used in tender documents for implementation of subsurface drainage works. Practical guidelines for the implementation of laboratory and field investigations to evaluate the performance of drainage materials have also been included.--Publisher's description.

Diagnosis of drain failure at an early stage is extremely important to detect and correct the problem before crop losses become serious or topsoil is damaged. Subsurface drainage systems are expensive, long-term investments but they are important to modern mechanized agriculture. The farmer can protect his investment and assure continuing adequate performance of his drainage system by initiating an inspection and maintenance program as a regular part of his farming operations. Drain performance should be evaluated at least once a year on a regular basis and at any time there is a hint of a developing drainage problem.

A guide for evaluation of highway subsurface drainage needs and design of subsurface drainage systems for highways has been developed for application to Minnesota highways. The guide provides background information on the benefits of subsurface drainage, methods for evaluating the need for subsurface drainage at a given location, selection of the type of drainage system to use, design of the drainage system, guidelines on how to construct/install the subsurface drainage systems for roads, and guidance on the value of maintenance and how to maintain such drainage systems.
