Overholt Drainage School- Before 2006

The Overholt Drainage Education and Research Program conducts a drainage school each year, usually in Columbus. Topics range from drainage and subirrigation design, and basic and laser surveying for soil and water conservation, to specialty topics in water management. Highly competent, experienced drainage and water management experts help organize and conduct the school. The drainage school is open to participants from any state and country on a first-come basis. Pre-registration is necessary since enrollment is limited to the number that can be accommodated for a quality educational program. School dates are announced in advance. A registration fee is charged for books and supplies, and other school related expenses. Interest from the endowments and contributions to the program defray a portion of the costs.
