Course Content
Salt affected waterlogged areas in India. Water quality criteria and brackish water use for agriculture. Drainage requirements and crop growth under salt affected waterlogged soil. Concept of critical water table depth for waterlogged soil and crop growth. Delineation of waterlogged areas through isobar, isobath and topographic maps Measurement of in-situ hydraulic conductivity, Drainage investigations and drainage characteristics of various soils. Methods of drainage system and drainage coefficient. Estimation of drainage coefficient from rainfall data.
Theories and applications of surface and subsurface drainage. Planning, design and installation of surface and subsurface drainage systems for waterlogged and saline soils. Theories and design of vertical drainage, horizontal subsurface drainage and multiple well point system. Drainage materials.
