The aim of this work is to present some peculiarity of Kirkham?s method applied in drain spacing determination in steady state water flow in eugley soil type. The analysis was based on data obtained by measuring water discharge from drains and water table depth. Measurements was carried out on drainage field with drain spacing of 10 m, 20 m and 30 m, representing drainage treatments I, II and III, respectively. The estimation of drain spacing is moved to lower value in all treatments. The results of analysis show meaningful limitation of method, especially in the treatments with wider drain spacing as well as in the cases of deeper ground water.

Dagan?s method as well as Kirkham?s one belong to the group of methods for drain spacing determination in steady state water flow conditions. Both methods are based on the assumption that drainage spacing (L) is linear function of water table depth and drainage discharge (h/q). The only difference can be distinguished in the values of coefficients. To dry out eugley type of soil, drain spacing is better determined by Dagan?s method in all treatments, as compared with Kirkham?s one. Advantage of this method is especially marked on the drainage system with narrower drain spacing.

Based on the hydro-geological survey, sampling analysis and combined with ground water flow systems theory, the work studied coal gangue leachate of a typical sandy base coal waste field in Erdos on ground water environmental impact. The results showed that pile of coal waste change the original characteristics of ground water flow systems, coal waste field from ground water discharge areas change into the runoff area, the bottom of Gangue heap immersion in ground water long term, the toxic and hazardous substances released and spread to the downstream by ground water runoff. Chromium, arsenic, fluoride, sulfateradical, copper, zinc, nickel, manganese and other pollution factors in the downstream ground water of gangue field and surface outlet is much higher than background value, where concentration of arsenic and NO3–N is 1.013mg / l and 31.2 mg / l, respectively higher than the background value which is 148 and 3 times.
