| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses four types of soil drainage problems: impermeable soils; depressional areas; high water table; and side hill seepage. Details possible solutions for each problem, including slit drainage; surface inlets; parallel subsurface drains; and interceptor drains. States that "each golf course drainage issue is a special case that requires individual attention, such as surveying the topography and testing the subsoil conditions of each specific problem area." Explains that "impermeable soils are one of the most common culprits in golf course drainage problems...[and] slit trenching...provides excellent results with dramatic improvements for large, flat areas." States that "depressional areas are the low wet spots where water ponds after a rainfall...[one] tactic is to install surface inlets in the lowest part of the depressional area where water naturally ponds." Explains that "high water table conditions occur when soils have reasonable infiltration rates but no natural outlet through deep percolation - usually due to the presence of a clay or stone barrier." States that "to remedy high water table conditions, you must find a way to remove the excess water that has entered into the soil profile. The best way to do this is to install a system of parallel subsurface drains." Concludes that "you cannot underestimate the importance of drainage planning- and taking the time to properly investigate and custom-tailor drainage systems for each problem area on your course." |
