within a field that is used for agricultural production, a clay unit is found at a depth 8ft below the land surface. the surface soil has a hydraulic conductivity of .6 ft/d. if parallel drains are placed 2 in per day. and if water level is to be maintained below 18 in from the ground surface, what is the maximum allowable lateral drain spacing?
is there any appreciable advantage to placing the drains 1 ft above the clay pan?
