Biodrainage: A Sustainable Bio-engineering Approach for Water Management in Salt-affected and Waterlogged Soils
S. Sooryalekshmi, Naveen Leno & B. Rani · International Journal of Environment and Climate Change · 2026
Biodrainage is a nature-based bio-engineering approach that uses deep-rooted, high-transpiring vegetation to regulate shallow groundwater tables and reduce waterlogging in salt-affected agricultural landscapes. This review examines the concept, scientific basis, mechanisms, speci...
