The Importance of Above Ground Drainage

January 10, 2017 By John Reynolds Leave a Comment

The Importance of Above Ground Drainage

Drainage is something that everyone has to deal with, but it is not always dealt with in the same fashion. In fact, many times above ground drainage is heavily utilized for both residential and commercial applications. It is one of the things that should always be considered whenever a new building is being constructed because it is definitely something that will come into play later on. In some cases, above ground drainage is necessary and it also serves some very important purposes. Sometimes it is difficult to set up an effective above ground drainage system and at times it is even difficult to know where to find universal soil pipe fittings that are typically used in these types of systems.

What is above ground drainage?

Unlike natural, or below ground drainage, above ground drainage is designed by engineers or other individuals in order to force drain water to go to a specific location. This water is then typically drained into a holding tank or it is directed to a certain area where it can be used to effectively water the soil, depending on the specific needs that are in question. As a result, the exact type of system that will be put in place will be determined by the geographic location and the needs that are being met by creating this type of drainage system.

The importance of above ground drainage

Its importance cannot be understated. Depending on the situation that created the need for it in the first place, it can provide many benefits. Many people who depend on farming for a portion of their income create above ground drainage in order to either direct the water to a specific location that can keep a plot of land sufficiently moist or to direct the water into a holding tank where it can be transported and used as needed. In some cases this type of drainage is necessary because there is an issue with a structure that has been built where the water must be drained in order to prevent it from accumulating on the structure itself. This happens on a regular basis when it comes to structures that are constructed with a flat roof. In addition, systems may be created to prevent waste water, or storm water, from running into a river or stream because there is a fear that it may contaminate the water table.

Uses

The water that is stored from these types of systems can be used for any number of situations as long as it is not contaminated with impurities that would make it harmful. However, if it does contain these types of impurities it will eventually need to be moved to a safe location where it can be handled safely. In most cases, it is safe to use and can therefore be used for an unlimited number of needs.

In short, the importance of above ground drainage is such that it would be virtually impossible to create construction or landscaping without it. Similarly, it is frequently used in all types of farming operations, both large and small. It is simply an additional way of harnessing the power of rainwater and then utilizing it when and where it is most needed.
