Drainage Management

Drainage management involves planning and implementing systems to effectively control how water flows across land surfaces, especially to prevent flooding and erosion. It includes designing and maintaining infrastructure like ditches, pipes, and retention basins to direct excess rainwater away from urban areas, agricultural fields, and properties. Proper drainage management ensures water is safely channeled to protect infrastructure, the environment, and public safety, while also allowing necessary water to reach natural waterways without causing damage. It’s a vital aspect of land use planning that promotes sustainable development and environmental health.
