Abstract: The effects of land clearing and drainage as well as effect of drainage system design and management upon hydrologic and water quality parameters were determined. The most dramatic effect of agricultural land development ...

Abstract: The hydrology of two North Carolina muck soils was simulated using four water‐management methods; conventional drainage, improved subsurface drainage, and two types of controlled drainage. One soil was much more responsive ...

Abstract: As a result of recent surface water quality problems in North Carolina, riparian buffers and controlled drainage are being used to reduce the loss of nonpoint source nitrogen from agricultural fields. The effect of controlled ...

Abstract: The pesticide aldicarb is extremely soluble in water, which causes it to be mobile in ground water. A field study was conducted to monitor the fate of aldicarb in a poorly drained soil in the North Carolina coastal plain. ...
