It provides better drainage than a surface system because it removes water from the soil to the depth of the drain, providing plants a greater mass of soil for root development, permitting the soil to warm up faster in the spring, and maintaining a better balance of bacterial action, the air in the soil, and other factors needed for maximum crop growth.
A specially-adapted shipping container, mounted on rails above the drain, provides shelter and holds the winching mechanism for 4,000m of cable - long enough to reach through the ice sheet to the dark waters of the lake below.
Pipe drains provided at the base of the reservoir to intercept rising groundwater level acted as a flow pathway for water seeping from tears and punctures in geomembrane liner at the base of the reservoir.
The extent of drains provided archaeologists with many clues regarding the layout of streets, organisation of housing and baths.
These areas have, when drained, provided fertile soil for local agriculture, benefited by the 19th-century practice of dumping nightsoil from nearby Manchester.
A splash of vinegar on warm potatoes that have just been cooked and drained provides a nice seasoning boost.
In use conventional geosynthetic materials have a passive role, e.g. barriers stop the passage of liquids; reinforcement provides tensile resistance and drains provide a passage for water.

Half negative suction drains provide an effective compromise between no suction and full or high suction drainage after modified radical mastectomy by reducing the hospital stay and the post operative morbidity including post operative seromas.
