Drainage Water Management (DWM) is undoubtedly a cost-effective and popular water conservation practice that efficiently regulates soil water table elevations and the timing of water discharges from subsurface agricultural drainage systems. Not just that, DWM improves water quality and the soil environment for greater crop yields, making it a promising practice in today's world!

Drainage water management is based on the concept that the same amount of water is not required all year round. With the help of a drainage water system, the quality and production of water can be significantly improved. Water quality is often achieved by eliminating the unnecessary tile drainage and nitrate that leaves farm fields. Drainage water management can also help retain water that can be used later in the season for irrigation when required. A successful DWM system can help provide the following benefits:

• Enhance soil productivity and carbon sequestration

• Decrease erosion and loss of important soil and nutrients

• Enable shallow seasonal flooding for wildlife habitat

• Preserve and enhance water quality

• Potentially improve crop production

All About Drainage Water Management Plan

Drainage water management effectively manages the timing and amount of water discharged from agricultural drainage systems. A well-constructed drainage water management plan considers several factors such as landscape, soils, slope, and current drainage systems. In fact, current drainage systems are also incorporated into the function of your DWM System. A standard DWM plan usually includes:

● Field maps with field boundaries and sensitive resources areas

● Tilemap, outlets, and control structure locations

● Crop system description, risk assessments, and a nutrient management plan

● Farm and field identification

● Landowner goals and objectives

● Complete topographic map

● Soil map and soil profile data

● Operational and maintenance directions
