The article presents the results of studies on the effectiveness of vertical drainage to regulate the water regime of soils in difficult natural conditions, based on the example of the experimental-production system for vertical drainage of the Osipovka object of the Maloritsky district of the Brest region with an area of 312 hectares. The characteristics of the natural conditions of the site, the design of the system and its operation modes during drainage and irrigation are  given. Disadvantages of vertical drainage in dehumidification of areas with complex hydrogeological conditions were noted. Recommendations are given to increase its effectiveness
