House Drainage

Primarily there are three types of rainwater drainage systems, inlet, piping and outlet. They are all designed with an aim to unclog the roads and lanes during storms and rain.
Soil Drainage Pipes
Gravity plays the main role in soil drainage. It enables the water to move around and through the soil. Soil drainage is the main determinant for the fauna cover in a region. A good system of soil drainage yields pleasant agricultural results as well. Consider this, if the water in your patch of land takes more than an hour to drain out then, the quality of the soil is questionable. Water logging causes the soil ph or acidity to go up creating an unfavorable environment for the food or any other living creatures to survive. Artificial or natural removal of water from surfaces of a given area after irrigation plays a vital role in determining the quality of the agricultural produce. Irrigation is the process of deliberate and controlled supply of water over large patches of agricultural land in regular intervals. A well established network of irrigation channels ensures that the agricultural fields are getting appropriate amounts of water and not depending on rains.
