The performances of five biodrainage species were monitored for its soil moisture
depletion, groundwater table depression and soil fertility improvement in waterlogged
lowland of Indo-Gangetic alluvial plains of West Bengal. The results of the study showed
that all biodrainage plantations had differential potential in extracting surplus water from
deeper soil layers and consequent recession of groundwater table. Their efficiency
followed in the sequence of Eucalyptus spp. > Bambusa arundinacea > Casuarina
equisettifolia > Dalbergia sissoo > Musa spp. There was considerable improvement in soil
properties such as pH, EC and CEC beneath plantation strips compared to field without
plantation, except in eucalyptus. The variable build-up of organic C, available N, P and K
in surface soil was observed under the vegetation canopy compared to non-canopy site.
However, fast growing eucalyptus tree was emerged as the most potential biodrainage
species to remediate the waterlogging hazards and maintained the desired soil moisture
balance
