drainage systems
Pipes removing water
Drainage systems are networks of channels, pipes, or natural waterways that collect and carry away excess water from an area.
They prevent flooding, manage stormwater runoff, and remove wastewater: The city's drainage system couldn't handle the sudden downpour.
Agricultural drainage systems lower water tables to protect crops.
In anatomy, lymphatic drainage refers to fluid removal through the body's lymph vessels.
