  2. State Drainage Guides- States drainage guides provide information on the proper drain spacing (both surface and subsurface) to provide adequate drainage for crop production (removal of 0.25 to 1” per day).- Drainage guides establish drainage system spacing requirements based upon the type of system, removal rate, and soil type.- FOR WETLANDS: it is reasoned that if a site has a drainage system in proper functioning condition (maintained) that meets the drainage guide criteria, then the hydrology of the site has been removed sufficiently to no longer meet the wetland hydrology criteria.-This reasoning relates to areas affected by water tables, not to those areas subjected to surface inundation by out-of-bank or backwater flooding (ex. Farmed Wetlands that are not a playa, pothole or pocossin).

  3. State Drainage Guides- developed based upon information in “Drainage of Agricultural Land”, NEH, Section 16 - Ellipse equation - modified Ellipse equation Hooghoudt’s procedure, “equivalent depth”
