Abstract

ABSTRACT Amodified form of Richard's equation was used to compare drainage for soil absorptive septic systems on a sloping impermeable layer. Types of drainage systems compared were parallel drains and a single upslope drain. Analysis of the transient water table profiles led to the conclusions that: (a) for a saturated system, parallel drains are more effective in lowering water table heights than a single drain upslope of the absorptive system, (b) drainage by an upslope drain is as effective as drainage by parallel drains in preventing the growth of a ground water mound in a partly saturated porous medium.
