Subsurface (tile) drainage uses underground pipes to remove excess water from the soil and direct it away from the field. This helps prevent waterlogging, improves soil structure, and creates better growing conditions for crops.
How Subsurface Drainage Works
Modern drainage systems use durable, perforated plastic pipes installed below the surface, allowing water to drain efficiently while supporting normal field operations.
By lowering the water table, crops develop stronger root systems, fields dry faster after rain, and planting and harvesting can happen on time.
For many farmers, subsurface drainage is a practical, long-term solution that improves productivity, soil health, and overall farm performance.
