3. Background
Water retention option of drainage system for dry Season
4. Result
The research results showed that corn had grown well during peak dry
season period (October)
COMPLEX SENTENCES
1. The research results showed that corn had grown well during peak dry
season period (October) in which water table was at 50 cm below soil
surface, whereas water table depth was dropped to 70 cm below soil
surface in land without subsurface drainage.
Dependent Clause :Water table was at 50 cm below soil surface,
whereas water table depth was dropped to 70 cm
below soil surface in land without subsurface
drainage
Independent Clause : The research results showed that corn had grown
well during peak dry season period (October)
Tenses
: Past tense
2. This field research objectives was to find out the corn crop cultivation in
August 2014 which entered dry season.
Dependent Clause
: Entered dry season
Independent Clause : This field research objectives was to find out the

6. The applications of subsurface drainage was still not optimum due to the
supply of water from the main system was not the same because of the soil
physical properties diversity and topography differences.

PASSIVE VOICE
(to be + V3)
The water table control innovation was conducted by installing subsurface
drainage and had been studied for the last two years (Bakri et al., 2014).
The existing open channel system was maintained by providing micro channels
with interchannel distance of 8 m.
