Land drainage is principally used to alleviate waterlogging in fields and gardens, but it can also dessiccate certain ground types in prolonged dry spells.
Land drainage is NOT the same as a soakaway, although they may both be used to dispose of surface and/or ground water.
Other uses for land drainage are as dispersal drains for septic systems and as collector drains where more formal drainage fittings would be inappropriate. It is also an essential part of civil engineering projects, where the use of drains and drainage composites is gradually replacing the more traditional forms of land drainage.
