Summary
This AHDB knowledge resource provides a technical reference glossary standardising terminology and definitions for field drainage engineering in United Kingdom agriculture. Rather than reporting empirical findings, it functions as a communication standard designed to improve consistency and precision among farming practitioners, regulators, and technical advisers working in soil and water management. The glossary supports clearer mutual understanding of drainage practice across the sector.
