Land Drainage
Land drainage is a process that has been carried out for hundreds of years to increase the productivity of land. Excess water is removed to prevent waterlogging and promote healthy plant and root growth
Benefits of good land drainage
Land drainage has a wide range of benefits, including:
-
No waterlogging
-
Lower water table
-
Improved soil structure meaning better root structures, reduced cultivations and reduced poaching, soil erosion and runoff
-
Wider working window
-
Better weed control, for example blackgrass and common rush
-
Crops have better drought resistance
-
Reduce flooding downstream by giving a continuous, controlled runoff
-
After serious flooding events water is removed quickly which could be the difference between crop success and failure
-
Reduced variable costs such as seed and fertiliser
-
Increased land values
-
All of the above lead to higher crop yields and increased profits
