    [12] In undisturbed areas with natural subsurface drainage, soil and rock fragments choke karst openings thereby being a self-limitation to the growth of openings. [13]: 189–190, 196 The undisturbed karst drainage system becomes balanced with the climate so it can drain the water produced by most storms. However, problems occur when the ...

    Sustainable drainage system. Retention ponds such as this one in Dunfermline, Scotland, are considered components of a sustainable drainage system. Sustainable drainage systems (also known as SuDS, [1] SUDS, [2][3] or sustainable urban drainage systems[4]) are a collection of water management practices that aim to align modern drainage systems ...

  5. Combined sewer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_sewer

    Combined sewer. A combined sewer system. During dry weather (and small storms), all flows are handled by the publicly owned treatment works (POTW). During large storms, the relief structure allows some of the combined stormwater and sewage to be discharged untreated to an adjacent water body.

    The natural drainage system united the community visually, environmentally, and socially. The 110th Cascades SEA (2002–2003) are a creek-like cascade of stair-stepped natural, seasonal pools that intercept, infiltrate, slow and filter over 21 acres (85,000 m 2 ) of stormwater draining through the project.
