Science - Agriculture / soil drainage
English term or phrase: mole drain
Hi, guys,

Can you give me a clue?

Having clear ditches and working land drains is a staple requirement, but forget to regularly mole drain and the link between the rain falling and water being neatly ferried into the land drains is missing.

In wet years, ***mole draining*** can often be seen as a quick-fix solution to mask years of neglect.

However, it will only solve half of the problem and won’t return yields to anywhere near the potential that can be delivered in well-drained soils.

Dreno toupeira


Explanation:
Dreno toupeira é um sistema de drenagem subterrâneo do excesso de água da chuva, utilizado na agricultura. É bastante eficiente, e por isso, como diz na segunda frase "em anos chuvosos, o dreno toupeira pode ser uma solução rápida para mascarar anos de negligência."
