Land drainage area

High Speed Rail (Crewe – Manchester) Environmental Statement, Glossary, abbreviations and references, published by the Department for Transport in 2022, defines a land drainage area as: ‘A type of shallow balancing pond used for land drainage purposes. The area may be dry for much of the year and will often be suitable for livestock grazing once returned to landowners.’
