   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.

3. Basement waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basement_waterproofing

   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 ...

4. Containment building - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Containment_building

   Containment systems for nuclear power reactors are distinguished by size, shape, materials used, and suppression systems. The kind of containment used is determined by the type of reactor, generation of the reactor, and the specific plant needs. Suppression systems are critical to safety analysis and greatly affect the size of containment.

5. Stormwater detention vault - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormwater_detention_vault

   Tunnels may be cheaper than basins, as they do not require pumps to move the water. [6] The outlet is generally a restricted-flow drain from the detention vessel, with a weir for containing detritus. [3] Detention vessels delay water's delivery downstream, and possibly creates a later water level peak post-rainfall.

6. Hydraulic containment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_Containment

   The hydraulic containment process is accomplished by three [2] major configurations: . a pumping well alone; a subsurface drain combined with a pump well; a well within a barrier wall system: The configuration may involve continuous reactive barriers, funnel-and-gate systems, arrays of wells filled with reactive materials, injected systems.

   At one Queens development, water filled the sunken patio of a basement apartment, then broke through a glass door, trapping a 48-year-old woman in 6 feet (2 meters) of water. Neighbors ...

8. Retention basin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retention_basin

   Storm water is typically channeled to a retention basin through a system of street and/or parking lot storm drains, and a network of drain channels or underground pipes.. The basins are designed to allow relatively large flows of water to enter, but discharges to receiving waters are limited by outlet structures that function only during very large storm eve

9. Septic tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septic_tank

   A septic tank is an underground chamber made of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic through which domestic wastewater flows for basic sewage treatment. [2] Settling and anaerobic digestion processes reduce solids and organics, but the treatment efficiency is only moderate (referred to as "primary treatment"). [2]
