      <abstract>Image library of (1) tile-drained landscapes and (2) tile-drain types used for training a machine-learning model that identifies (1) tile-drained landscapes and (2) differentiates two types of tile-drained areas visible in satellite imagery. These images were sourced from WorldView, Quickbird, and GeoEye satellite imagery (copyright DigitalGlobe) and cropped to features of interest. Imagery has a ground resolution of 0.34 - 0.65 m.</abstract>
      <purpose>This is a library of agricultural landscapes with visible tile-drain networks; some examples from surrounding areas, with no visible tile drains, are also included. In the mid-1800s, tile-drains (sub-surface agricultural drainage) were installed in poorly-drained soils of topographic lows as water management to protect cropland during wet conditions; consequently, estimations of tile-drain location have been based on soil series. Most tile drains are in the Midwest, however each state has farms with tile and tile-drain density has increased in the last decade. Where tile drains quickly remove water from fields, groundwater and stream water interaction can change, affecting water availability and flooding. Nutrients and sediment can quickly travel to streams thru tile, contributing to harmful algal blooms and hypoxia in large water bodies. Tile drains are below the soil surface, about 1 m deep, but their location can be visible in satellite imagery as patterns in soil or plant color. Because of the timespan over which tile drains have been used, combined with the fact that they are privately installed and maintained, the condition, distribution, and connectivity of tile drainage to surface-water systems is only generally known. Estimates of the geographic and areal extent of tile drainage are frequently derived from a combination of agricultural-census data with land-cover estimates and soils data. However, landscape classification of remotely-sensed imagery using machine learning (ML) could provide a new method of tile-drain mapping that is independent of bias due to soil properties or historical extent and that can be kept current by incorporation of recent images into analyses. Overall, this information will improve our ability to model how tile drainage affects water balance and availability in addition to the spatial and temporal variability of nutrient concentrations, water temperature, and magnitudes of streamflow.</purpose>
