Drainage system

A drainage system is a network designed to manage and remove excess water from various areas to prevent flooding and maintain hygiene. It includes components like pipes, drains, and ditches that collect rainwater, wastewater, and surface runoff, directing it away from buildings and streets. Proper drainage helps maintain soil health, supports agriculture, and protects infrastructure by reducing water buildup. In urban areas, stormwater management systems help control overflow during heavy rains, while sewage systems ensure that wastewater is transported safely to treatment facilities. Effective drainage is crucial for public health and environmental sustainability.
