[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 838333, member: 9115"] I understand 1w, however, here it is perched water that is the problem. Water in all soils moves horzontally and vertically, before going down to the next layer of different soil. Think of watering your garden, ever notice how you can water with a hose or sprinkler and your garden looks pretty good, then a 1/2 of rain comes and the difference is amazing? Movement of water in the layers of soil is why. We actually put 12" of black dirt on top of 6" of sand for some sewers. The sand will stay dry, the grass of top will look great, as the water will not pass to the sand until the top layer of dirt is saturated. Sounds crazy, but it's true. With perched water the water cannot move, or moves very slowly. A mole drain will drain the area just around the drain, but the water cannot move laterly to the drain. Has been proven that we cannot lower a perched water table with a curtian drain or tile drain. Wish I could invent a way, I'd be rich. gs [/QUOTE]
