An experimental field was conducted at El-Serw Agricultural Research Station, Agricultural Research Center, in the Northeastern Delta to study the effect of mechanical technique component tile drainage with mole drains on improving soil condition and water table behavior in addition to its draw down rate. The experimental field consisted from drain spacing treatments: (i) No drains, (ii) thirty metre spacing and (iii) sixty metre drain spacing as well as secondary drainage treatments were mole drains at 1.5 m spacing with 50 cm depth perpendicular on field drains. The mole drain treatments were: (i) no mole, mole and mole with hydraulic connections to tile drain.
