Abstract
A simple user-friendly menu-driven system for database management, pertinent to Impact of Subsurface Drainage System on Land and Water Conditions (ISLaW) has been developed for use in environment-management issues of the drainage areas. This database has been developed by integrating four softwares, viz; Microsoft Excel, MS word, Acrobat and MS Access. The information, in the form of tables and figures, with respect to various drainage projects has been presented in MS Word files. The major data-sets of various subsurface drainage projects included in the ISLaW database are: i) technical aspects, ii) groundwater and soil-salinity aspects, iii) socio-technical aspects, iv) agro-economic aspects, and v) operation and maintenance aspects. The various ISLaW files can be accessed just by clicking at the Menu buttons of the database system. This database not only gives feedback on the functioning of different subsurface drainage projects, with respect to the above-mentioned aspects, but also serves as a resource-document for these data for future studies on other drainage projects. The developed database-system is useful for planners, designers and farmers’ Organizations for improved operation of existing drainage projects as well as development of future ones.
