   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sump_pump

   Sump pumps are used where basement flooding may otherwise happen, and to solve dampness where the water table is near or above the foundation of a structure. Sump pumps send water away from a location to any place where it is no longer problematic, such as a municipal storm drain, a dry well, or simply an open-air site downhill from the building (sometimes called "pumping to daylight").

4. Infiltration/Inflow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiltration/Inflow

   Typical sources include sump pumps, roof drains, cellar drains, and yard drains where urban features prevent surface runoff, and storm drains are not conveniently accessible or identifiable. Inflow tends to peak during precipitation events, and causes greater flow variation than infiltration.

5. Basement waterproofing - Wikipedia

   The drainage system collects any water entering the basement and drains it to an internally placed sump pump system, which will then pump the water out of the basement. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommends basement waterproofing with a water alarm and "battery-operated backup pump" as a preventive measure against the high ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

   It is critical that a sufficient "pitch" (downward slope) be maintained throughout the drain pipes to keep liquids and entrained solids flowing freely towards the main drain from the building. In situations where a downward slope out of a building en route to a treatment system cannot be created, and a special collection sump pit and grinding ...

7. Dry well - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_well

   A dry well or drywell is an underground structure that disposes of unwanted water, most commonly surface runoff and stormwater, in some cases greywater or water used in a groundwater heat pump. It is a gravity-fed , vertical underground system that can capture surface water from impervious surfaces , then store and gradually infiltrate the ...
