10th International Drainage Workshop of ICID Working Group on Drainage

The national committees of ICID in Finland and Estonia have a great honour to invite all members of the ICID-family to the 10th International Drainage Workshop in Helsinki and Tallinn during the second week of July 2008, the period of Northern white nights.

Themes and topics:
Objectives of agricultural drainage have evolved over the years and vary with circumstances. The primary objective is to make agricultural production possible and profitable. Agricultural drainage can be seen as a part of integrated land and water resources management where environmental aspects play an important role. Advances in the science of drainage allow the evaluation of the effects of system design and management on both productivity and environmental aspects. The water quality is as important to farming as the public opinion and sustainability of farm production.
