Controlled drainage with subirrigation - field pilot Stegeren (NL)

“Indroduction – Over the last decades: desiccation occurs as a result of measures to live in a delta (drainage systems, land consolidation and urbanization)
Nowadays: a large pressure on the groundwater system + more frequent weather extremes (dry periods and heavy rainfall).
Goal – Improving conditions for crops through regulating the groundwater level using controlled drainage with subirrigation system.”
