Abstract

IN THE design of a drainage system for waterlogged land, the most important soil constant required is that governing the rate of flow of water through the soil, the permeability constant. Among other factors that should be known are knowledge of the rainfall rate, surface runoff, infiltration capacity, the location of impermeable layers, underground drain passages, and underground sources of water.
