The Imperial Irrigation District states that their tile drains are from 6-10 feet in depth and parallel the irrigation canals. They have specifications and plans for many and archival photographs of installation. They are large perforated pipes set in trenches. For references see Marrion M. Weaver 1964 The History of Tile Drainage in America Prior to 1900. Waterloo, New York and Arthur P. Philsbury and William R. Johnson 1965 Tile Drainage in the San Joaquin Valley of California.

Subject: Agricultural Drainage Tiles
Has anyone done any research on agricultural drainage tiles? How much of an agricultural field is disturbed from the installation of drainage tile? Are/were the tiles installed at an average depth? Does anyone know of any reference material on this topic?
Thank you,
Sandra.
