Keywords: Drainage, Erosion, Humid, Surface 1 Purpose 1.1 This Engineering Practice is intended to improve the design, construction and maintenanc

14、e of surface drainage systems which are adapted to modern farm mechanization. It is limited to agricultural or farm-size areas, 259 ha (640 ac) or less, in the humid region of the eastern USA (see Figure 1). Figure 1 Key map for drainage curves (Humid areas for eastern USA where surface drainage may

15、 be needed) 1.2 Surface drainage is normally required for efficient crop production on slowly permeable soils with restrictive topography. It is not required when excess water is removed naturally. Typical problem areas are glaciated areas, coastal plains, bottomlands, deltas, and old lake beds. Sur

16、face drainage may eliminate the need for subsurface drains under certain conditions. Surface drains also apply to farm mains used to collect water from field drains and subsurface drains.

Transition

23、s may be vegetated or nonvegetated sections, or erosion control structures. 4 Principles 4.1 The objectives of surface drainage are: a) to prevent water from ponding on land surfaces or in surface drains that are crossed by farm equipment; b) to remove excess water in time to prevent damage to crops

24、; c) to accomplish the above without excess erosion. 4.2 Complete drainage systems shall be planned and designed with all aspects considered. The collection system, consisting of the land surface and shallow drains, removes excess surface water from individual areas within fields. The disposal syste

25、m, consisting of somewhat larger ditches, receives drainage water from the collection system and removes it from the land. Transitions, including structures, that permit drains to discharge into larger or deeper drains must provide for adequate erosion control without holding water on field surfaces

26、 for excessive periods of time. The system shall be designed as an integral part of the soil and water facilities, the farm layout, and cropping plan. Farm roads shall be planned to complement the drainage system and to facilitate farming operations. 4.3 There are several methods of draining agricul

27、tural land. Land surfaces that pocket water can be drained by cutting and filling. Depressions can be drained by row drains, field drains, and field laterals. The methods can be combined, thereby reducing the number of depressions and the number of drains. A brief discussion of the principal surface

28、 drainage methods follows. 4.3.1 Land smoothing eliminates minor depressions and irregularities in a field, thereby improving surface drainage and increasing farm machinery efficiency. Frequently, this is an interim measure that will be replaced by land grading when economic conditions permit. 4.3.2

29、 Land grading, by carefully designed cutting and filling operations, provides excellent surface drainage. 4.3.3 Water leveling was developed for fields which are to be flooded and provides adequate drainage for rice and other selected, close growing, water tolerant crops. 4.3.4 Random drainage syste

30、ms provide for drainage of the low areas by row drains, field drains, and field laterals. These systems are relatively low in cost and give a high return on the investment. They require frequent maintenance and may be obstacles to farm machinery, particularly if drains are closely spaced. On severel

31、y undulating topography, random drainage may be the only economical system. 4.3.5 Parallel drainage systems facilitate mechanization by eliminating short rows and point rows. Crossable field drains or row drains are constructed between parallel field laterals. This permits farm equipment to travel g

32、reater distances without turning. Field surfaces between field laterals should be improved by land smoothing or land grading for maximum benefits. 4.3.6 Bedding, under most conditions, is not considered an acceptable drainage practice for row crops because rows adjacent to the dead furrows will not

33、drain satisfactorily. It is an acceptable practice for hay and pasture crops in some areas. Normally there is some crop loss in and adjacent to the dead furrows. 4.3.7 Crowning was developed for sugar cane production in areas that formerly had ample hand labor; is well established in some areas and

34、provides excellent drainage. Crowning requires more maintenance than most of the other systems. The large number of field laterals take land out of production, and they are a source ANSI/ASAE EP302.4 FEB1993 (R2012) Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers 4 of erosion and

35、 sedimentation, and weed and grass infestation. Crowning with crossable field laterals provides excellent drainage for the pasture crops commonly grown in the sugar cane areas. 4.3.8 Diversions intercept upland runoff and prevent it from overflowing bottomlands. This simplifies installation of drain

36、age systems on bottomlands. 4.3.9 Interceptor drains intercept and remove subsurface water. They are used on long slopes with 1% or steeper grades and shallow, permeable surface soils overlying relatively impermeable subsoils. 5 Design 5.1 Surface drainage system design criteria are based on the ass

37、umption that all lands to be drained will be suitable for agricultural use after drainage. Design shall consider construction and maintenance needs and irrigation requirements where applicable. The rate of water removal, in terms of depth per unit of time to be provided by the drainage system, depen

38、ds on several interrelated factors such as rainfall characteristics, soil properties, and cropping patterns. For most row crops, surface drainage systems shall complete removal of excess water from the soil surface within 24 h after rainfall ceases. More rapid removal may be necessary for high-value

39、 truck crops. A longer time is permissible for grasslands and woodlands. 5.2 The intensity of drainage desired is expressed in terms of drainage curves (see Figures 1, 2, and 3). These empirical curves were developed from a large number of field measurements of drainage flow rates and observations o

40、f the adequacy of drainage. The curves will not provide for peak flows from large storms. Excess runoff will be discharged as overland flow temporarily flooding adjacent lands. Curves with the higher coefficient values represent a larger drainage capacity. Figure 2 Drainage curves northern area of U

42、gineering Handbook, section 16, chapter 6. 5.2.1 The drainage curves are applicable to drainage areas having average slopes of less than 4.7 m/km (25 ft/mile). 5.2.1.1 The basic equations used to describe the drainage curves of Figures 2 and 3 are of the form: Q = K1CM5/6, One exception is curve 2B

43、which is Q = K2CM0.7, where: Q is design discharge, m3/s (ft3/s); K1= unit conversion factor equal to 0.06 if in SI metric units and 1 if in inch-pound units; K2= unit conversion factor equal to 0.0534 if in SI metric units and 1 if in inch-pound units; C = coefficient relating to desired level of d

Numerical values for the coefficient are shown on figures 2 and 3; M = drainage area, ha (ac). 5.2.2 Figure 1 shows the extent of the humid area of the eastern USA where surface drainage may be needed.

NOTE: No recommendation is made for woodland drainage. 5.2.4 Figure 3 is for the southern regional area: curve 3A for row-crop drainage in the gulf coastal and coastal plains area; curve 3B for row-

47、crop drainage in the deltas and bottomlands of the major rivers; curve 3C for improved pasture drainage; curve 3D for irrigated ricelands; curve 3E for upland range and unimproved pasture drainage; curve 3F for gulf coast marsh and marsh range, and woodland drainage. 5.2.5 The value for M should be

48、determined for each separate drainage component. For each row drain, this would be that amount of land drained by it. For each collector component, such as field drain, field lateral and farm main, the value for M would be the total area drained by the system. 5.3 Ditch design 5.3.1 Field drains (se

49、e Table 1 and Figure 4) are located at the lower ends of field rows, through surface depressions, above barriers that trap runoff, and where required to divert runoff from lower areas. Drains located at or near soil changes provide locations for field roads, permitting the soils to be managed differently during farming operations. Field drains need not be designed to contain the quantities of flow indicated on the drainage curves, as their primary purpose is to remove residual surfa
