Drainage Systems
Drainage systems serve a very important role in the disposal of waste water from a house or commercial building. The drainage systems may vary in complexity but there are some basic principles of designs applied to them. For instance, some drainage systems temporarily retain water effluents from the house to filter out the sludge. This is done to minimise the environmental impact of waste water. Solid debris can be filtered and properly disposed.
The construction of drainage systems is basically a subcomponent of plumbing works. The roof gutters, spouts, kitchen drains and bathroom drains all lead to the drainage systems. Pipes and metal or concrete containment facilities comprise drainage systems. Some drainage systems also have elaborate water treatment facilities that filter and neutralise the water before disposing it to the natural water courses (e.g. river) or to the main sewage systems. In this manner, contamination can be minimised.
Drainage systems are important both in urban and rural settings. More elaborate drainage systems, however, maybe needed for areas that do not have centralised sewage treatment facilities. Direct disposal of the waste water will be unsanitary and poses danger to both health and environment. The septic tank, for instance, must be well-insulated to prevent contamination of the ground water.
