Abstract/Contents:Overviews "research into the design and functioning of vertical drainage channels, or slits, and the development of scientifically based systems for sportsturf use." States that "the object is to overcome waterlogging in soils so finely textured or lacking in structure that they are incapable of transmitting water at an acceptable rate to the drains." Describes the technique of sand injection, in which "sand slits are 'injected' simultaneously into the turf, without the need for spoil removal, and with minimal disturbance of the turf surface." Suggests two ways "to keep the slits open to the surface, that is not capped by soil, and so receive water swiftly."
