Drainage, A Vital Need in Irrigated Humid Areas
Total rainfall in humid areas appears to be adequate for almost all purposes. The rainfall pattern, however, is constantly varying and unpredictable. The variability in amount, rate of fall, and time of rains causes droughts on the one hand and flooding of level lands on the other. Supplemental irrigation solves the problem created by droughts, while adequate drainage systems offer a solution to the drainage problem. Where supplemental irrigation is practiced, drainage is as important a factor as the provision of water for crops.
