Stormwater drains are systems designed to manage excess rainwater and prevent flooding in urban areas. They collect rainwater from streets, parking lots, and other surfaces, directing it away from buildings and roads. This helps to reduce water accumulation and protect infrastructure. These drains typically lead to local waterways, such as rivers or lakes, where the water can flow naturally. Proper maintenance of stormwater drains is essential to ensure they function effectively and prevent blockages caused by debris, leaves, or other materials. This maintenance helps protect the environment and supports the health of ecosystems like wetlands and aquatic life.
