A trench drain (also known as a channel drain, line drain, slot drain, linear drain, or strip drain) is a specific type of floor drain featuring a trough- or channel-shaped body. It is designed for the rapid evacuation of surface water or for the containment of utility lines or chemical spills.
A diagram of a traditional French drain. A French drain [1] (also known by other names including trench drain, blind drain, [1] rubble drain, [1] and rock drain [1]) is a trench filled with gravel or rock, or both, with or without a perforated pipe that redirects surface water and groundwater away from an area.
A septic drain field, a septic tank, and associated piping compose a septic system. The drain field typically consists of an arrangement of trenches containing perforated pipes and porous material (often gravel) covered by a layer of soil to prevent animals (and surface runoff) from reaching the wastewater distributed within those trenches.

French drain installation can solve water problems in your yard or basement. Landscaping pros explain how French drains work and what it takes to install them.
Invert level affects flow from drainage pipes. In civil engineering, the invert level is the base interior level of a pipe, trench or tunnel; it can be considered the "floor" level. [1] The invert is an important datum for determining the functioning or flowline of a piping system.
The angle of the boom can be adjusted to control the depth of the cut. To cut a trench, the boom is held at a fixed angle while the machine creeps slowly. The chain trencher is used for digging wider trenches (telecommunication, electricity, drainage, water, gas, sanitation, etc.) especially in rural areas.
Traditionally, land drains were formed in clay soils and peats by excavating a trench and forming a "tunnel" using flat stones. This was very labour-intensive but could often be done using free materials at hand. Typically they were two to three feet (600mm-900mm) below the surface.
Subsurface drains, on the other hand, are designed to manage water that seeps into the soil beneath the planting surface. French drains, which are gravel-filled trenches with perforated pipes at the bottom, are the most common type of subsurface drain. Trench drains, which are similar but shallower and wider, are also used in some situations. [4]
