The drainage into the Pacific Ocean from the San Gabriel River Basin boundary to the Moro Canyon drainage boundary near Laguna Beach, California. Los Angeles County, Orange County: 2,680 sq mi (6,900 km 2) HUC180202: 180703 Laguna–San Diego Coastal water resource basin
Map of a well field for subsurface drainage with radial flow across concentrical cylinders representing the equipotentials. Both systems serve the same purposes, namely water table control and soil salinity control. Both systems can facilitate the reuse of drainage water (e.g. for irrigation), but wells offer more flexibility.
Septic drain fields, also called leach fields or leach drains, are subsurface wastewater disposal facilities used to remove contaminants and impurities from the liquid that emerges after anaerobic digestion in a septic tank. Organic materials in the liquid are catabolized by a microbial ecosystem. A septic drain field, a septic tank, and ...
The Sutter Basin is a 264 sq mi (680 km 2) [1] area of the Sacramento Valley in the U.S. state of California, and is part of the Feather River drainage basin.The basin includes the Sutter Basin Fire Protection District of ~127 sq mi (330 km 2) [2] and uses irrigation from the Thermalito Afterbay's Sutter-Butte Canal.

A drainage equation is an equation describing the relation between depth and spacing of parallel subsurface drains, depth of the watertable, depth and hydraulic conductivity of the soils. It is used in drainage design. Parameters in Hooghoudt's drainage equation. A well known steady-state drainage
Parameters of horizontal drainage Parameters of vertical drainage. The subsurface field drainage systems consist of horizontal or slightly sloping channels made in the soil; they can be open ditches, trenches, filled with brushwood and a soil cap, filled with stones and a soil cap, buried pipe drains, tile drains, or mole drains, but they can ...
In geotechnical engineering, watertable control is the practice of controlling the height of the water table by drainage.Its main applications are in agricultural land (to improve the crop yield using agricultural drainage systems) and in cities to manage the extensive underground infrastructure that includes the foundations of large buildings, underground transit systems, and extensive ...
With this the irrigation and drainage requirements for salinity control can be computed too. In irrigation projects in (semi)arid zones and climates it is important to check the leaching requirement, whereby the field irrigation efficiency (indicating the fraction of irrigation water percolating to the underground) is to be taken into account.
