Synopsis
Excerpt from Farm Drainage Methods
Thorough drainage lessens the effect of drought. Only the excess water or free water is removed by the drains. For most plants the only water that is of use remains in the soil as a film wetting the surface of the grains. The removal of the free water enables the roots to grow deeply into the moist soil and this more extensive root ing system, touching a large soil-area, has a much greater supply of film water to draw upon and to carry the plant through a period of drought. This is an important consideration in California, as the plant should be as far advanced as possible before the long dry season approaches.
