Abstract

Determining Adequate Drainage Capacity for Agricultural Open Ditches | The science for determining the adequate drainage capacity for agricultural open ditches has been developed from many research efforts, some dating back almost 75 years. We will discuss the background and development of the tools for determining adequate drainage capacity and compare gauge records with the commonly used methods and determine if the methods we use are still applicable or if they need to be updated.
