    This document summarizes and compares two types of drainage systems: surface drainage and subsurface drainage. Surface drainage involves shallow ditches that discharge excess water from the surface of the land into deeper collector drains. It minimizes ponded water and soil saturation but can cause erosion if water is not removed orderly. Subsurface drainage removes water from the root zone using deep open drains or buried pipe drains. It provides aeration to the root zone and improves soil structure but requires a steeper gradient and has higher initial costs than surface drainage.

    Drainage System

    Sub Trade-offs

    1. Surface drains
    Surface drainage is the removal of excess water from the surface of the land. This is normally
    accomplished by shallow ditches, also called open drains. The shallow ditches discharge into
    larger and deeper collector drains. In order to facilitate the flow of excess water toward the
    drains, the field is given an artificial slope by means of land grading.

    Advantages Disadvantages
    Minimize the duration of ponded It has a minimal affect on reducing
    water that inundates crops the saturated subsoil occuring as a
    result of high water table
    conditions
    Minimize the prolonged saturation If the water is not removed in an
    of soil which restricts gas (oxygen orderly manner, soil erosion may
    and carbon dioxide) occur
    Most advantageous on flat lands Nutrients and other contaminants
    where slow infiltration, low may be carried off in the runoff
    permeability, or restricting soil
    layers prevent the ready infiltration
    of high intensity rainfall

    2. Subsurface Drainage
    Subsurface drainage is the removal of water from the root zone. It is accomplished by deep
    open drains or buried pipe drains.

    Advantages Disadvantages
    Provides aeration to root zone Requires steeper gradient
    Improves soil structure and Repair works are costly and
    maintains soil temperature inconvenient
    Avails land for early cultivation Only seepage water is removed
    Facilitates easy movement of farm Construction is difficult
    machines
    Less maintenance cost compared to Require high initial cost
    surface drains
