What Is Drainage and Why Is It Necessary?


Drainage is the natural process by which water moves across and through soil. It is what allows for seeps, springs, stream baseflow and aquifer recharge.

Having a proper drainage system helps to remove excess water and avoid flooding or damage. It also helps to prevent health hazards and sanitary issues.

Soil Erosion

Soil erosion is a problem that can cause significant damage. It can lead to foundation damage, mold growth and health problems. It can also cause flooding. In order to avoid these issues, proper drainage is crucial. Without it, soil can become unstable and erode quickly. This can be a problem in many areas, especially those with steep slopes or heavy rainfall. Inadequate drainage can also lead to water pooling and flooding around the building.

If your garden is suffering from poor drainage, there are several things you can do to help. One option is to add a layer of organic matter like compost or shredded leaves to the soil. This will help to improve the quality of the soil and make it more absorbent. Another option is to install a french drain, which is a buried pipe that will carry excess water away from the garden. This can be a more extensive project and is best done by a professional.

A plumbing drainage expert will be able to use CCTV drain cameras to view the condition of a pipe. This will allow them to see if there are any cracks, blockages or other problems that need attention. If the problem is an obstruction, they can use a high-pressure jet to clear it. This will remove any grease, sludge or debris.

Flooding

Drainage is the process of removing excess water from areas to prevent flooding, erosion and other damage. It’s also a necessary system for agriculture, helping to improve soil conditions for crop growth.

A drainage system can include gutters and drains for removing rainwater, stormwater systems that remove floodwater from roads into roadside drains or sewage systems that remove waste water from houses into municipal'sewers' for treatment and disposal. Drainage is a complex network of pipes, ranging from the primary network underground to the individual drains within buildings.

The drainage system of a land mass is referred to as its ‘watershed’. A watershed is a topographic area that drains surface and groundwater, including lakes, rivers and streams into a single outflow point such as the sea. The ridges and hills that separate the areas that drain into two different watersheds are called the drainage divide.
