A prototype system of subsurface drains for collection of shallow groundwater and reuse of drainage water for reuse in irrigation was examined. The system involved a field with subsurface drains, a reservoir for storing drainage water, and conveyance facilities for irrigation with drainage water. Benefits of recycling include the reduction in demand for fresh water, improvement of drainage within an irrigation project, and reduction of pollutant discharge into wetlands.

Drainage water was collected by subsurface drains and reapplied to half of a drained alfalfa field in Fallon, Nevada, during the 1989 irrigation season. Irrigation district water was applied to the other half of the field. The drainage water quality was analyzed for plant tolerance. The drainage water did not violate irrigation guidelines.
