strategy
Creating comprehensive drainage scheme
Synonyms:
Augmenting adequate drainage systemsImproving drainage systems
Expanding existing drainage systems
Building water drainage network
Building local drainage systems
Constructing integrated land drainage system
Context:
The poor performance of surface and subsurface drainage systems is often caused by the mediocre technical quality of drainage networks, improper drainage design and, sometimes, insuffieint involvement of farmers. During and after the installation of such systems, problems can occur owing to the lack of materials, machinery breakdowns and lack of trained staff. Narrower:
Constructing storm drainsConstructing drainage sumpsInstalling subsurface drainsRechannelling standing waterEnsuring drainage ditch maintenanceExpanding artificial drainage for irrigated agricultureUsing scavenger wells for removing saline drainage waterImplementing urban storm-water run-off and drainage programmesDeveloping drainage for irrigated lands in arid and semi-arid regions Facilitates:
