Tile

many farms have gridworks of drainage tile to move water off the fields. early tiles were made of clay, and were hand dug. now they use a perforated plastic tile that comes in rolls.
 
My grandfather tiled for a living, I have his tools. He was proud of the number of acres that he did.
 
That is true about the 'come in rolls', however that material can fail if not buried deep enough or driven over. A slightly more costly alternative is rigid perforated PVC pipe (like that used in septic systems). There are at least 2 grades (maybe more) and you should be happy with the 'Non septic system' rated material. HTH
 
Here is another video that show how some is installed here in North West Ohio.
I manufacture animal guards for a company that sells to the tile contractors. They would be used where the piped dump water in the open ditches like at the end of this video. No animal guards in this video though.

We have a district tile going through that is a 24" That goes into a 30" I think. Some of it is over 6' deep. These tile are glazed and about 2" thick. This is the new tile that was put in in 1918. The old 16" and up was put in in around the turn of the century.

We have some Navajo friends that could not realize how they were needed or worked as they hauled water 60 miles.
 
This is how they are installed today.

In wet ground like I have, best investment you can make.

As needed here as irrigation is needed in the dry land areas of the country.
