| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the history of poor drainage on winter games pitches in Britain. Describes slit drain systems and states that "the purpose of a slit drain is to conduct surface water rapidly to a permeable subsoil layer or permeable fill over a pipe drain." Discusses different sands for use in rootzone upgrading or total profile construction and which sands are best for different situations. Concludes by saying, "There is no reason why future green construction should not be based soundly on accepted and proven scientific and technical knowledge." |
