Drainage System Basics
Understanding the key components of rainwater drainage systems.
- Runoff Rate Peak flow during rainfall events.
- Pipe Sizing Based on flow capacity needs.
- Slope Requirements For proper water flow.
- System Capacity Total volume handling ability.
Design Guidelines
Surface Type
Affects runoff coefficient.
Slope
Influences flow velocity.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning needed.
Safety Margin
Account for peak events.
