Abstract

Factors influencing flow into subsurface drainpipes were investigated in an experimental tank. Where available and experimental results were compared to theory. It was found that doubling drain diameter from 2 to 4 inches increased the flow 35 to 60 per cent. An increase of drain diameter from 2 to 7.48 inches caused a 90 to 130 per cent increase in flow depending on the water-table height. Decreasing pipe-segment length from 3 to 1 foot increased the rate of flow into the pipe by 2½ times. Wrapping the pipe with glass fiber reduced the effect to about a 50 per cent increase.
