  1. Research Requirements This should be customer driven “Cassandra” or “The Oracle”

  2. ARS NP 211 Planning WorkshopNeeded Research Products (next 5 to 10 years): • 1) Expert system/decision support tool for growing season and non-growing season operation guidelines for drainage water management systems for optimizing both agronomic crop production and environmental objectives.

  3. ARS NP 211 Planning WorkshopNeeded Research Products (next 5 to 10 years): • 2) Treatment technologies and management strategies to remove pollutants from drainage water. (i.e. blind inlet treatment systems, bioreactors, wetlands, cover crops, filter treatment systems, etc.)

  4. ARS NP 211 Planning WorkshopNeeded Research Products (next 5 to 10 years): • 3) Technology and protocols to validate nutrient trading credits for drainage treatment technologies.

  5. ARS NP 211 Planning WorkshopNeeded Research Products (next 5 to 10 years): • 4) Confirmation regarding where the water and nutrients (N and P) go when drainage water management is implemented.

  6. ARS NP 211 Planning WorkshopNeeded Research Products (next 5 to 10 years): • 5) Technologies to map existing subsurface drainage infrastructure.

  7. ARS NP 211 Planning WorkshopNeeded Research Products (next 5 to 10 years): • 6) User friendly linkage of watershed (i.e. SWAT) and DRAINMOD models.

  8. ARS NP 211 Planning WorkshopNeeded Research Products (next 5 to 10 years): • 7) Ecological, hydrologic, and economic evaluation of innovative watershed drainage infrastructure, such as two-stage ditches.

  9. Emerging Issues (next 20 years): • 1) Better understanding of climate change impacts on agricultural drainage practices and associated environmental consequences.

  10. Emerging Issues (next 20 years) • 2) Better understanding of climate change on drainage system design criteria.

  11. Emerging Issues (next 20 years) • 3) Rural and urban interface issues.

  12. Emerging Issues (next 20 years) • 4) Role of drained lands to meet world goals for food, fiber and fuels.

  13. Emerging Issues (next 20 years) • 5) Innovative ways to integrate drainage and irrigation (i.e. storage and recycling of drainage waters) specifically in the Midwest U.S.
