The book on “Agricultural Drainage Engineering” deals with the problem of drainage, drainage investigation, salt balance, surface drainage systems, subsurface drainage systems, reclamation of degraded land, designs and installation of drainage system, drainage materials, fabrication & testing of tiles, gypsum requirement, design of envelope, special drainage systems, supplementary protection structures, classification of soil and water, cost estimation, operation and maintenance of drainage systems, etc. The best effort has been made to acquaint the students about the practical application of agricultural drainage engineering like measurement of hydraulic conductivity in field and in laboratory, preparation of iso-bath and isobar maps, installation of piezometers and observation wells, design and installation of drainages systems, etc. The book is profusely illustrated with sketches and is not bulky.
This book will assist in imparting better skills and understanding to Under Graduate (UG) and Post Graduate (PG) students, research scholars and professionals in the field of Agricultural Engineering (Irrigation, Drainage, Soil and Water Conservation Engineering, Watershed Management, etc), Agriculture (Soil Science, Soil Chemistry, Soil and Water Management, Natural Resources Management, etc) , Civil Engineering (Water Resource Management, Water Supply and Drainage Engineering, etc.), etc. In addition to its use as university level text and reference, students of polytechnics in agriculture engineering and agriculture, the book will be helpful to the students as a reference for preparation of competitive examinations like GATE/ JRF/ SRF/ NET/ ARS, etc. Suggestions for improving the book are always welcome and will be incorporated in the next edition.
