Abstract | This publication covers the historical, technological, economic, and environmental aspects of agricultural drainage. It draws from the combined knowledge of academic and U.S. Department of Agriculture professionals in public policy, drainage theory, planning, engineering, environmental science, and economics. The main purpose is to review the evolution of modern farm drainage and to identify farm drainage objectives for agricultural extension specialists and agents, environmental specialists, drainage consultants, installation contractors, and educators. Chapters include "A Framework for Future Farm Drainage Policy" (Smith, Massey); "A History of Drainage and Drainage Methods" (Beauchamp); "Advances in Drainage Technology: 1955-85" (Fouss, Reeve); "Purposes and Benefits of Drainage" (Fausey et al.); "Preserving Environmental Values" (Thomas); "Principles of Drainage" (Skaggs); "Drainage System Elements" (Ochs et al.); "Planning Farm and Project Drainage" (Hodges, Christensen); "Drainage for Irrigation" (Hoffman, van Schilfgaarde); "Drainage Institutions" (Sandretto); "Economic Survey of Farm Drainage" (Pavelis); "Drainage Potential and Information Needs" (Daugherty, Lewis); and "Drainage Challenges and Opportunities" (Swader, Pavelis).
