What is drainage?

Drainage is the removal of excess water from land by means of surface or subsurface conduits, pipes or other systems

Why do we drain?

Drainage is needed to prevent the build up of hydrostatic pressure against or on top of buildings or civil engineering structures, causing structural overloading, humidity and leakage problems.
