Drainage Theory

Drainage Theory is an approach used in environmental science and hydrology to analyze how water moves through soil and land. It focuses on the patterns of water drainage, including how water collects, flows, and is absorbed by different surfaces. This theory helps in understanding the water cycle, managing stormwater, and preventing flooding. By studying drainage, we can improve land use planning, enhance agriculture, and protect water quality in rivers and lakes. Essentially, it assists in predicting water behavior in various landscapes to ensure sustainable management of our water resources.
