Foreword
Drainage in the case of agricultural soils is the artificial removal of water from the soil mass (subsurface drainage) or the soil surface (surface drainage), with the aim of ensuring satisfactory soil moisture conditions for optimal crop growth.
The field drainage system is usually a network of pipes that communicate with each other and can collect the excess water from an area and discharge it into a main drainage pipe (central outlet). The network may consist exclusively of surface open channels (ditches) or underground pipe systems (drains), or it can be a combination of surface and subsurface pipe systems.
This book presents the basic concepts for understanding the movement of groundwater, the fundamental approximate analyses that describe steady and unsteady drainage problems, as well as some basic concepts related to the design of drainage systems. Nearly every chapter includes representative solved exercises. At the end, International and Greek Bibliography is provided.
The book is primarily aimed at undergraduate students of the Department of Natural Resources and Agricultural Engineering at the Agricultural University of Athens and undergraduate students of other Agricultural Departments in Greek Higher Education Institutions, where the course on Drainage is taught, as well as students from the Departments of Civil Engineering and Surveying Engineering at Greek Polytechnics. The content of this book essentially constitutes a small part of the subject of Drainage. It does not aim to serve as a manual for researchers or constructors who need special knowledge. Instead, it aspires to assist those who want to start a journey of acquaintance with the subject and to enable further study of specific topics with reference to Greek and international literature.
For the preparation of the material, texts from international and Greek literature were considered, which are listed at the end of the book, as well as the teaching experience of the author in the course "Drainage" of the Department of Natural Resources and Agricultural Engineering of the Agricultural University of Athens from 1983 to 2019.
