The aim of this work is to show some properties of the application of Kraijenhoff Van de Leur-Maasland’s method for drain spacing determination in unsteady state of flow. The analysis of the method is based on data obtained from drainage field with 10 m of drain spacing which dries out eugley soil. The results of analysis show the range of method applicability as well as certain limitations in the case of non-modelled dynamics of ground water recharges.
