Pollution Mitigation Design
Why is Drainage Design Important?
To ensure the safe management of wastewater and surface water, an efficient drainage design is a critical component of civil engineering and land development. If a drainage system is poorly designed, floods, erosion, and structural damage can occur, leading to environmental harm, costly expenses and regulatory penalties. The following are some benefits of effective drainage designs:
Compliance with local regulations
Flood and damage risk mitigation
Protection of infrastructure integrity
