. The use of sportsfields in winter results in drastic changes in the physical properties of most soils. In consequence adequate sportsfield drainage demands much greater attention to the transmission of incident rainfall to the underdrain system than is normally necessary in agricultural drainage. Solutions to the problem differ in concept and cost, and range from complete profile construction to bypass drainage systems, causing minimal soil disturbance. Specific requirements are examined and practical solutions illustrated and discussed.
