PREFACE
The first International Conference on Hydraulic Design in Water
Resources Engineering held at Southampton University in 1984 brought
together engineers interested in channels and channel control structures.
It was well attended, very successful and generated papers relating to
control and diversion structures, sediment control facilities for headworks
and intakes, canals under quasi-steady flow conditions, computer
simulation of irrigation and drainage canal systems under unsteady flow
conditions, and sediment problems in rivers and the effects of engineering
works on the regime of rivers.
The success of the first meeting was a major factor in deciding to
reconvene the Conference in April 1986, also at Southampton University.
The second conference is concerned with the design, constructions and
operation of land drainage systems and the wealth of papers received for
presentation is an indication of how much this subject has developed in
the last few decades. The Conference is intended to bring together as
much information as possible in the field of Land Drainage together with
forecasts of future developments in this important subject. The
Proceedings will provide a unique reference and state-of-the-art
presentation to all interested in Land Drainage.
The Proceedings incorporate the text of a keynote lecture given by W. H.
van der Molen, an eminent researcher. His participation added to the
prestige of the Conference and the Editors would like to thank him most
sincerely for his contribution.
