  Development of Application Tools for Burying and Sizing of Subsurface Drain Tiles
  Author(s): Anamelechi Falasy* and Richard Cooke
  
  Our suite of QGIS tools addresses the vital aspects of subsurface drainage systems, crucial for water management in agriculture, civil engineering, and land development. Accurate depth placement and sizing of drainage pipes significantly impact system efficiency, enhancing overall land productivity. Developed to meet this demand, our tools specialize in burying and sizing sub-surface drainage systems. The primary objective is to generate buried elevation depths and pipe sizes for each line segment within the drainage network, sequencing downstream-to-upstream and upstream-to-downstream, respectively. Determining minimum drainage main sizes relies on factors like burying order, end-point elevations, distances, and specified elevation depths and slopes. These user-friendly QGIS tools, utilizing Tile Order, Cumulative Flow Lengths, Burying Slope, and specification.. Read More»
