Drainage increased the bulk density and lowered the hydraulic conductivity of the peat, to the extent that, water table drawdown could not be detected beyond 5 m from the drainage ditch or field drains. The water table drawdown zone acted as the source of solutes transfered to the drainage ditch on pumping. A distinct solute release sequence was recorded in the drainage ditch, with SO4-S peaking before NH4-N, which was followed by Ca, Mg and NO3-N. Ca and Mg release was delayed by up two days following a pump event. Solute concentrations in pump-drained ditches were significantly higher than those of drainage channels unaffected by pumping. Solute transfer from the peat as a result of pump drainage, has resulted in water quality deterioration within the peatland.",
