Locating Main And Branches

Categories: DRAINAGE

There are various systems of drainage.

Wherever a branch or lateral joins the main, the means of drainage is

duplicated within the area that the main can drain, and the system

should call for the least possible waste of this sort. It usually is

best that the main take the center line of the low land, laterals being

used to bring the water to the main from both sides, but there is less

duplication of work when the main can be at one side of the wet land.

Branches of the main may be needed to reach remote parts of the area.
