✦ Synopsis

It is said that the forest industry is the backbone of the national economy in Finland. This was in particular the case in the twentieth century. That is also why the drainage of forests has played an important role in the national forestry policy. The most intensive period of forest drainage started at the beginning of the 1960s and lasted for 20 years. During that period the annual drained area was on average 200 000 ha. This article presents a short overview of the history of forest drainage in Finland in its heyday and also illustrates some current water conservation measures in the drainage of forested areas.
