This question is incomplete. However, it should be noted that the idea of blocking the drainage, which could cause waterlogging (since the water will not be able to leave the field), is a type of irrigation that ensures there is sufficient amount of water for the plants to grow during a growing season. Although, some plants do not grow well in environments like this (in the case of waterlogging) because this environment lowers oxygen level in the root o the plant (caused by the water at the top of the soil).
