What are the different types of drainage systems?

There are several types of drainage systems, including surface drainage, subsurface drainage, and stormwater drainage. Would you like to know more about a specific type?

Can you explain surface drainage?

Surface drainage involves the removal of excess water from the surface of the ground. It typically uses ditches, channels, or slopes to direct water away from areas prone to flooding.

What about subsurface drainage?

Subsurface drainage is designed to remove excess water from below the surface. It often uses perforated pipes buried underground to collect and transport water away from the area.

Are there any advantages to using stormwater drainage?

Yes, stormwater drainage systems help manage runoff during heavy rains, reducing flooding and erosion while improving water quality by filtering pollutants.
