“…The α ap values for S3PD14 and S3PD15 were found to be 4.37 and 1.22, respectively. Rimidis and Dierickx (2004) reported that drainage systems performed poorly with an α ap value more than 1 in Lithuania.…”

“…The approach‐flow head loss fraction F ap , given by Equation (6), can be determined from the regression coefficient, or the slope of the linear relationship between h t and h ap , which are found to be 0.64 for S3PD14 and 0.31 for S3PD15 drains. Based on the recommendations of Dieleman and Trafford (1984) and Rimidis and Dierickx (2004), if F ap is larger than 0.4, drains are not performing satisfactorily. The performance of the S3PD14 drain is considered to be poor and the S3PD15 drain moderate.…”

“…The limited number of measurements is considered to be a barrier here. Rimidis and Dierickx (2004), using measurements of a four‐year study, were able to force the linear relationship between h t and h ap through the origin and obtain higher coefficients of determination. Another possible reason for not being able to fit the data through the origin is that the groundwater table remained standing above the drain level.…”

“…In this research, coefficients of the approach‐flow resistance ( W ap ), approach‐flow constant ( α ap ) and approach‐flow head loss fraction ( F ap ) were determined for both S3PD14 and S3PD15 drains. These criteria can be calculated from the following equations (Rimidis and Dierickx, 2004): …”

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of subsurface drainage and a rice husk envelope in Behshahr, a coastal region in the northern part of Iran. The subsurface drainage system was monitored in the rainfall seasons of 2006 and 2007 (22 November to 19 March). Various parameters such as daily groundwater table fluctuations and drain discharge rate were measured. To evaluate the drainage envelope, the gradation curve, bulk density and natural durability of rice husk and also the head loss of the groundwater table in the vicinity of the drain were measured. The large difference between the approach-flow head and entrance-flow head could be related to clogging of the external part of the rice husk envelope. The overall conclusion of this study was that subsurface drainage system performance was not satisfactory due to poor control of groundwater table depth, which could be related to clogging of the rice husk drain envelope. Hooghoudt's equation is not recommended to be used for evaluation of design parameters in this case. The basic uncertainty in application of a rice husk envelope was its durability, which was found to be very variable and depended on soil environmental conditions.

“…Removal of waterlogging conditions in soils though agricultural drainage, is crucial for efficient and sustainable crop production in irrigated areas, both in tropical zones as well as in rain-fed zones, were crops satisfy its hydric requirements exclusively from precipitations [39,54,55]. In some areas, soil drainage is produced naturally, but in other areas, soil intervention is necessary to create conditions for an efficient artificial drainage [3,56].…”

A review on agricultural effects of restricted soil drainage conditions is presented, related to soil physical, chemical and biological properties, soil water availability to crops and its effects on crop development and yield, soil salinization hazards, and the differences on drainage design main objectives in soils under tropical and semi-arid water regime conditions. The extent and relative importance of restricted drainage conditions in Agriculture, due to poor irrigation management is discussed, and comprehensive studies for efficient drainage design and operation required are outlined, as related to data gathering, revision and analysis about geology, soil science, topography, wells, underground water dynamics under field conditions, the amount, intensity and frequency of precipitations, superficial flow over the area to be drained, climatic characteristics, irrigation management and the phenology of crop productive development stages. These studies enable determining areas affected by drainage restrictions, as well as defining the optimal drainage net design and performance, in order to sustain soil conditions suitable to crops development.
