Abstract:

This paper, authored by a member of the Transportation Research Board Committee on Subsurface Drainage, discusses issues pertaining to the detrimental effects of inadequate subsurface drainage within transportation systems. Questions to be addressed in the next millennium relating to subsurface drainage within the context of transportation engineering are outlined. Different types of subsurface drainage applications are described with a focus on the differences between natural soil drainage systems and geosynthetic drainage systems.
