Highlights

Drainage water recycling captures and stores agricultural drainage water for reuse as supplemental irrigation.

Drainage water recycling can both increase crop production and benefit downstream water quality.

Depending on management, drainage water recycling can also provide other complementary benefits.

Research needs to advance drainage water recycling are presented and discussed.
