Abstract
Erosion of man-made, forestry drainage channels occurs when the plough cuts through the surface peat layer into the underlying erodible mine ral soil. A procedure is developed, based on hydraulic considerations, which will allow the drainage engineer to design stable drainage netw orks in upland forestry plantations. An example design chart is given for an erodible sandy loam type soil.
