What does the storm water drainage system consist of?
A variety of structures and land forms, both natural and artificial, are considered to be part of the storm water drainage system. These include street gutters, storm drains, pipes, grass and concrete channels, earth berms, ditches, box culverts, streams, detention basins, and even sinkholes. All of these are part of the course which storm water runoff travels on its way out of urban areas and into nearby streams, rivers, and lakes.
