Abstract
Subsurface drainage systems with surface inlets are widely used to divert water in crop producing areas, but pose problems because they can allow unfiltered, sediment-laden water to travel quickly to other waterways. The project tested several modest, uncomplicated inlet protection practices with potential to keep nutrient and sediment flows in check.
