Drainage model

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A drainage model may concern:

  • a surface drainage model or rainfall-runoff model

     see surface runoff, or a software site providing free download of a conceptual rainfall-runoff model (RainOff) based on a nonlinear reservoir

  • a subsurface (groundwater) drainage model related to:
    • a spacing equation for subsurface pipe drains and open ditches (horizontal drainage) or wells (vertical drainage); see watertable control, or a software site providing free download of a drain spacing equation (EnDrain) using the energy balance of groundwater flow, and a well spacing equation (WellDrain)
    • a hydrological subsurface drainage model; see salinity control for an example of an agro-hydro-salinity subsurface drainage model (SaltMod)
    • groundwater flow in the aquifer; see groundwater model or an example of an agro-hydro-salinity groundwater model: SahysMod
