  2. Drain-waste-vent system - Wikipedia

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

    For such drainage systems to work properly it is crucial that neutral air pressure be maintained within all lines, allowing free gravity flow of water and sewage down drains and through waste pipes. It is critical that a sufficient "pitch" (downward slope) be maintained throughout the drain pipes to keep liquids and entrained solids flowing ...

  3. Drainage law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_law

    It holds that because surface water is a "common enemy" of landowners, each landowner has the right to alter the drainage pattern of his land (for example by building dikes or drainage channels) without regard for the effects on neighboring parcels, as long as that water flows to where it otherwise would have naturally flowed.

  4. Flow control structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_structure

    A flow control structure is a device that alters the flow of water in a stream, drainage channel or pipe. As a group these are passive structures since they operate without intervention under different amounts of water flow and their impact changes based on the quantity of water available.

  5. Sanitary manhole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitary_manhole

    The flow spirals down the shaft to a lower elevation at the base of the manhole. While the flow travels down the structure, it clings against the outer wall of the spiral structure. The friction of such interaction causes the flow energy to be dissipated, resulting in the speeds of the flow to be under control. [26] [27]

  6. Watershed delineation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watershed_delineation

    Imagine or draw surface water flow lines that point downhill perpendicular to the topographic contours (this is the steepest direction). Mark the location of topographical high points (peaks) around the stream. Mark the points along contours that divide flows towards or away from the stream (ridges). Connect the dots to delineate the watershed.

  7. Combined sewer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_sewer

    Combined sewer outflow into the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. Ratcliff Beach CSO discharges into the River Thames in London [7]. These relief structures, called "storm-water regulators" (in American English - or "combined sewer overflows" in British English) are constructed in combined sewer systems to divert flows in excess of the peak design flow of the sewage treatment plant.
