drainage

Drainage is a fixed term in modern floristry and agriculture and is used where a large number of plants in the same bed or field require uniform irrigation. Drainage refers to a coherent system of canals that were laid underground before planting or sowing and that are used to remove water. The purpose of drainage is to avoid over-watering fields and thus to extend the vegetation period of the individual plants. While the drainage in rainy regions prevents the fields from overflowing when the rainfall is too frequent or too intense, drainage systems are also used in dry areas. Here, the targeted removal of the water is to prevent the saline residues of the rainwater or process water from accumulating in the soil of the fields, thus ensuring poor soil quality. In modern agriculture, plastic pipes have been established for drainage, but there are also ecological options for drainage without laying pipes. In principle, the use of any drainage is a major intervention in the ecosystem of the respective habitat for animals and plants, but in modern agriculture in many cases it is essential for a yield rich in crops.

Drainage

Die Drainage ist ein fester Begriff in der modernen Floristik und Landwirtschaft und kommt dort zum Einsatz, wo eine Vielzahl von Pflanzen im gleichen Beet oder Feld eine einheitliche Bewässerung benötigen. Mit der Drainage wird hierbei ein zusammenhängendes System von Kanälen bezeichnet, die unterirdisch vor dem Einpflanzen bzw. der Aussaat gelegt wurden und dem Abtransport von Wasser dienen. Sinn und Zweck einer Drainage ist es, die Überwässerung von Feldern zu vermeiden und so die Vegetationsperiode der einzelnen Pflanzen zu verlängern. Während die Drainage in regenreichen Regionen verhindert, dass bei zu häufigen oder intensiven Regenfällen die Felder überwässern, kommen Drainagensysteme auch in trockenen Gebieten zum Einsatz. Hier soll der gezielte Abtransport des Wassers verhindern, dass sich die salzhaltigen Rückstände des Regen- oder Brauchwassers in den Böden der Felder ansammeln und so für eine schlechtere Bodenqualität sorgen. Im modernen Ackerbau sind Rohre aus Kunststoff für die Drainage etabliert, allerdings gibt es auch ökologische Möglichkeiten einer Dränung ohne das Verlegen von Rohren. Grundsätzlich ist der Einsatz jeder Drainage ein starker Eingriff in das Ökosystem des jeweiligen Lebensraumes für Tiere und Pflanzen, in der modernen Landwirtschaft in vielen Fällen jedoch für einen erntereichen Ertrag unerlässlich.
