7. DRAINMOD
A Computer Simulation Model
DRAINMOD is a computer simulation model developed by Dr. Wayne Skaggs at the Department of Biological &
Agricultural Engineering, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC in 1980. The model simulates the hydrology of
poorly drained, high water table soils on an hour-by-hour, day-by-day basis for long periods of climatological record (e.g.
50 years). The model predicts the effects of drainage and associated water management practices on water table
depths, the soil water regime and crop yields. Parallel ditches have been used to analyze the hydrology of certain types
of wetlands and to determine whether the wetland hydrologic criterion is satisfied for drained or partially drained sites.
The model is also used to determine the hydraulic capacity of systems for land treatment of wastewater. The model has
been successfully tested and applied in wide variety of geographical and soils conditions. In the last 40 years, the
model’s capability has been extended to predict the effects of drainage and water management practices on the
hydrology and water quality of agricultural and forested lands both on field and watershed scale.
13. The Drainage Industry
• Pipe and sock manufacturers
• Drainage and agricultural equipment
• Agricultural industry/crop producers associations
• Land owners
• Drainage contractors
• Environmental – water quality technology sector
• Conservation partners (TNC)
14. IMPROVING WATER QUALITY AND AGRONOMICS BY
MANAGING DRAINAGE WATER
An industry led organization that was formed in 2004 to enhance
crop production and improve water quality outcomes. ADMC was
crucial in the development of development of three water
management NRCS conservation practice standards as well as
training for over 130 technical service providers. Moving forward,
ADMC is leading in the advancement of water management practice
adoption throughout the United States. ADMC also serves a critical
role in identifying research and programmatic needs to better meet
America’s production, environmental, and sustainability goals.
The Agricultural Drainage Management Coalition
16. Future research must consider drainage system design and
management, agronomic management practices, and the role of
government and market forces in implementing technical
solutions at the scale needed to make a measurable impact.
Future emphasis on management of drainage systems should
focus on achieving an acceptable balance between agricultural
productivity, conservation, and environmental quality

19. Looking to the Future
• Water quality improvement
• Climate change
• Surface drainage and improvements in ditch systems
• Riparian protection
• Improvements to contaminant transport models
• Drainage and reclamation of disturbed soils
• Drainage for salinity control and drainage of irrigated lands
• Drainage water disposal: drainage water reuse and recycling
• Drainage and the environment; incorporating and protecting
wetlands
20. Looking to the Future
• Integrated agricultural drainage and storm water management
• Quantifying environmental co-benefits – water quality and GHG
emissions
• Water table control on moderately sloping lands
• Integrating drainage with crop and soil management recommendations
– linking drainage to precision agriculture
• Improving drainage on lands already tiled; identification technology,
installation equipment, system retrofitting
• Alleviation of compacted soils
• Drainage of problem soils, including sediment filtration
• Quantifying social, environmental and economic benefits of drainage
21. Is there more to be done in pipe structural mechanics and
hydraulics?
Gaj and Madramootoo – J. Irrign and Drain Eng, ASCE (2020); J. ASABE (2022)
1. New methodology of incorporating perforations into the structural analysis and
design of buried corrugated HDPE pipes. Incorporating shape, dimension, and
configuration of the perforations allowed for an improved appraisal of the pipe's
structural performance.
2. New dimensionless parameter to compute the hydraulic exit resistance of buried
corrugated pipes with variable perforation characteristics when operated under the
subsurface irrigation mode.
3. Computation of exit head losses to set better target water levels in control
chambers for water conservation.
4. Size and configuration of perforations on subsurface irrigation pipes can play an
important role in reducing the response time for water table rise into the
unsaturated zone. These parameters can be integrated into water management
simulation models.
