Since 1988, the District has been providing agricultural drainage services in conjunction with Wayne County as program sponsor. The Agricultural Drainage program is designed to provide critical drainage for areas of significant flow and possible pollutant concentration. The goal is to remove excess water from the soil surface on cropland improving drainage for soil conservation and enhanced crop production.

With over 65 projects now on the books, the district spends a majority of program hours maintaining existing infrastructure and providing technical assistance for new projects.

In addition, the district can provide technical assistance to municipalities and landowners to enhance and repair culverts, review drainage concerns, and wildlife issues such as beaver and muskrats.  Adequately sized and properly installed culverts are important to flood prevention and fish passage.
