Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a practical guide on the principles of irrigation and drainage. The author, an experienced irrigator, provides a detailed examination of the subject, supported by experimental results. The first part of the book focuses on irrigation, explaining its general principles, methods of creating water meadows, and their advantages. The author emphasizes the importance of proper drainage and discusses techniques for improving drainage in bogs, hilly areas, and clay soils. The author also details the construction of drains, straightening watercourses, and embanking lands. The second part of the book explores the principles of drainage as practiced by Elkington, which the author argues is the most effective and universally successful system in all types of terrain. He includes a report from the Royal Agricultural Society at Orebro on drainage experiments in Sweden as well as descriptions of various drainage operations he has been involved with.
