Drainage refers to the natural or artificial removal of surface and subsurface water from an area. In landscape architecture and civil engineering, effective drainage systems are crucial for managing water flow, preventing flooding, and minimizing soil erosion. Drainage systems may include a variety of components, such as swales, gutters, pipes, and French drains, designed to direct water away from structures and vulnerable areas.
