Excessive irrigating water that has not been adequately drained may cause more to enter the crop root zone than is necessary. As a result, issues with increasing table levels, waterlogging, and salinity get worse productivity losses. Agricultural drainage management strategies (ADWMS) can be used protect quality of groundwater, guarantee crops have better moisture conditions, provide irrigation...
