Drainage needs to reclaim its rightful position as an indispensable element in the integrated management of land and water. Although draining heavy clay soils poses special problems, reasonable solution can be found on soil conditions and local factor. Mole drainage systems have proved much more efficient and economical than pipe/tile drainage systems in heavy clay soils. Mole drains are unlined cylindrical channels which function like clay or plastic pipes and are formed using an implement called a mole plough. This paper presents a review of design parameters for mole drainage system and their effectiveness for crop production. The study revealed that several researchers, mostly outside India have studied the design parameters for mole drain formation and influence of mole drainage on crop production. Not Available |
