Drainage Strategies

Drainage strategies refer to methods used to manage water runoff and prevent flooding in both urban and rural areas. These strategies include creating drainage systems like pipes, ditches, or channels that direct excess water away from properties and roads. They also involve natural solutions like planting vegetation to absorb water, using permeable materials in construction, and restoring wetlands to enhance water retention. Proper drainage helps protect ecosystems, reduces erosion, and minimizes damage during heavy rains, ensuring that water flows safely to rivers or other bodies instead of pooling in unwanted areas.
