Technical Summary

The objectives of the agricultural drainage have been evolved over the years and vary with the circumstances. The primary

objective is to make agricultural production possible and profitable.

Agricultural drainage can be seen as a part of integrated land and water resources management, where environmental aspects

play an important role. The water quality is as important to farming as the public opinion and sustainability of farm production. The topics of the workshop focused on the water quality of agricultural drainage and the methods to mitigate nutrient and phosphate leaching.

The effects of extreme weather conditions on agricultural drainage were also included in the topics. Finally, drainage was placed in the context of the environment, economic and social/cultural aspects and suggestions were made on how to proceed with key performance

indicators for sustainable integrated water management, where drainage is a driver of this sustainability.

Research Results

Very interesting field-scale data was presented including conflicting results. What is good for nitrogen (N) reduction is not for phosphorus (P) reduction. Multiple solutions were presented. Field research

on drain spacing and depth, rice husk envelopes, trace elements, bio diversity in re-shaped drains (brook, stream, river), and formulation of Manning’s ‘n’ for natural streams were some of the interesting topics presented followed by lively discussions. One of the main challenges

for the drainage community is to translate the ‘research results’ as presented in the workshop into ‘design guidelines’. We need to make sure that we also reach the planners and designers of drainage

systems and get them involved early. It was suggested that there is a role for the organisers (American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, ASABE) of the 9th International Drainage

Symposium, to be held in Canada in June 2010, to translate the field results into design guidelines. There were fresh and frank presentations

 

and discussions on some of the past results with controlled drainage. The effects of field size on results was analysed, presented and discussed. Some explanation as regards the movement of water and constituents such as Nitrates and Phosphorous, if they did not discharge from the controlled drainage system, was provided. The hypoxia problem (green algae effect) in the Gulf of Mexico as a

result of water discharge from the Mississippi cannot be solved by controlled drainage alone but requires a ran pelletsge of  concurrent measures such as winter cover crop, catch cropping, and buffer zones. More attention needs to be paid to describe the context of the drainage work with respect to current guidelines (those of the US Environmental Protection Agency or the EU Water Framework Directive) i.e. are the results indicating excellent, good or bad conditions?

Key Highlights

Silver pellets: As mentioned before, it is not necessary to have a single solution to a problem, and Prof. Wayne Skaggs gave a model to remember this: there is no silver bullet that will solve all our problems in a unique fashion; rather we need to think in terms of many silver pellets. Solving leaching of N and P through water management is but one of the solutions, whereas farm, crop and land

use management were shown to be effective measures too; many silver rather than one silver bullet. Transfer of knowledge: Another silver pellet presented was the potential of applying the methods that resulted in longterm reductions in N and P in the Rhine basin to the hypoxia problem in the Gulf of Mexico. It was encouraging to see that

the extension service in the US is very much alive and that private industry is taking an interest in becoming drainage ambassadors {see the Agricultural Drainage Management Coalition (ADMC), www.admcoalition.com}. It was also noted that solutions may be explored with other organisations outside the ICID such as the

UN Water Portal, GWP, etc. We need more results to be presented as a follow up of implementation of the EU WFD, so that we can compare and possibly apply those results in other basins outside the

EU. The IDW10 achieved what was expected: networking of  professional from across the world.

 

Innovations: There were several silver pellets that can be classified as innovations: new methods of flow measurement in pipes, a bio filter placed in subsurface drains, classifying flow resistance in natural streams, and a different type like - use hurricane Katrina’s experience to emphasize that a billion dollar of investment will safeguard 100’s of billions of dollars in damage prevention. Hence, if we classify the

potential damage in areas and link this to the investment in research needs and propose preventative measures, we may find a more willing ear at political levels to spend money on improved drainage

water management.
