Drainage Types - Surface and Sub-Surface Drainage
There are two main types of drainage - surface and subsurface drainage.
Surface drainage comes in handy when you are dealing with heavy downpours. Quick action is needed in such cases to prevent flooding and erosion. Ditches, swales and trench drains are some examples of surface drainage.
Sub-Surface drainage deals with the groundwater. French drains are used in situations where excess water saturates the soil. Water follows the path of least resistance. Changes in the groundwater table or hydrostatic pressure can cause water to move sideways through a foundation. It can seep through cracks in the mortar and damage the building foundations. French drains deal with this problem. French drains direct the groundwater away from buildings. They are the path of least resistance for water thanks to the gravel bed.
