“…Tile flow occurred in at least one TD plot 54.9% of the time. These results are supported by other studies showing substantial reductions in or elimination of surface runoff after installation of tile drainage [5,28]. When surface runoff does occur in tile-drained fields, it is typically during high-intensity rain or snowmelt events that result in infiltration excess overland flow [29].…”

Quantifying the influence of tile drainage on phosphorus (P) transport risk is important where eutrophication is a concern. The objective of this study was to compare P exports from tile-drained (TD) and undrained (UD) edge-of-field plots in northern New York. Four plots (46 by 23 m) were established with tile drainage and surface runoff collection during 2012–2013. Grass sod was terminated in fall 2013 and corn (Zea mays L.) for silage was grown in 2014 and 2015. Runoff, total phosphorus (TP), soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), and total suspended solids (TSS) exports were measured from April 2014 through June 2015. Mean total runoff was 396% greater for TD, however, surface runoff for TD was reduced by 84% compared to UD. There was no difference in mean cumulative TP export, while SRP and TSS exports were 55% and 158% greater for UD, respectively. A three day rain/snowmelt event resulted in 61% and 84% of cumulative SRP exports for TD and UD, respectively, with over 100% greater TP, SRP and TSS exports for UD. Results indicate that tile drainage substantially reduced surface runoff, TSS and SRP exports while having no impact on TP exports, suggesting tile drains may not increase the overall P export risk.

“…Under wet antecedent conditions (i.e., winter, early-spring), tile drains in watershed B responded rapidly to precipitation, which resulted in significant contributions to streamflow. Contributions of tile discharge to streamflow during these periods were only limited by the hydraulic capacity of the tile system and soil drainage properties (Dolezal et al, 2001). In contrast, tile drains in watershed B often ceased to flow for periods of time under dry antecedent conditions (i.e., summer, early-fall) and, as a result, did not account for a large proportion of streamflow.…”

“…Tile drainage increases the proportion of annual precipitation that is discharged to surface waters via subsurface flow relative to the amount that is stored, evaporated or transpired [9][10][11]. Total water yield from a field tends to increase with the installation of subsurface drainage while surface runoff and sediment yield are often significantly decreased [2,16,17].…”

3D hydrological modeling was performed, using CATHY (acronym for CATchment HYdrology model), with the basic objective of checking whether the model could reproduce the effects of subsurface agricultural drainage on stream flows and soil water storage. The model was also used to further our understanding of the impact of soil hydrodynamic properties on watershed hydrology. Flows simulated by CATHY were consistent with traditional subsurface drainage approaches and, for wet years, flows at the outlet of the study watershed corroborated well with observed data. Temporal storage variation analyses illustrated that flows depended not only on the amount of rainfall, but also on its distribution throughout the year. Subsurface agricultural drainage increased base and total flows, and decreased peak flows. Hydrograph separation using simulated results indicated that exfiltration was the most dominant process; peak flows were largely characterized by overland flow; and subsurface drain flow variations were low.
