The 39 unique research sites with data in the Transforming Drainage Database are all different and researchers followed distinct protocols. While the data are provided as one database, users should study previously published papers and the Site Summaries below before using them. The Site Summaries describe each experimental site including drainage installation and layout, site data available in the database, and summarized research results and relevant published work.
The sites are listed by practice, followed by the lead researcher(s) and other names that have been used for the site in published research.
