  abstract = {{I}n agricultural landscapes, drainage networks can be greatly extended by man-made linear features such as ditches. {M}odifying the density of these man-made drainage networks can be a valuable tool to modulate hydrological processes. {T}he objective of this paper is to determine the spatial variability of man-made drainage density in agricultural landscapes and to quantify the extent to which this density depends on the landscape attributes. {W}e performed field surveys of man-made drainage networks, identified potential explanatory variables, and modeled the density of drainage networks by employing multiple linear regression and kriging. {T}he explanatory variables were related to the topography, soil type, density of roads, and density of the field boundaries. {T}hese explanatory variables accounted for 55% of the variability in the density. {T}he remaining 45% of the variability were assumed to be related to socioeconomic factors, and represent the latitude in modifying these networks.},
