Book Synopsis Biodrainage by : Albertus Frederik Heuperman
Book excerpt: Artificial drainage is essential to sustain irrigated agriculture, in order to control the water table and avoid waterlogging and salinisation. Biodrainage systems rely on vegetation rather than mechanical means to remove excess water, and can provide a cost-effective and environmentally friendly drainage option. This publication presents a range of formally published and unpublished literature on the current level of knowledge of biodrainage, in order to inform further research and promote pilot testing schemes.
