The ditch significantly lowered the water table up to a distance of 60 m where the water table was maintained below the 20 cm depth 25% more often than on the undrained control. Soil water content was reduced by drainage in the top 10 cm layer and the depth of the aerobic layer increased by 6 to 9 cm.
