Prevents Property Damage: Efficient drainage systems prevent water accumulation that can lead to flooding, which can damage homes, landscaping, and community facilities.
Reduces Soil Erosion: By effectively channeling water away from buildings and landscaped areas, well-designed drainage systems minimize soil erosion, preserving the community’s appearance and structural integrity.
Improves Road Safety: By preventing water from pooling on roads and walkways, a good drainage system reduces slip and fall hazards as well as hydroplaning risks, making the community safer for pedestrians and drivers.
Environmental Protection: Regulations aim to control pollution and sediment from stormwater runoff that could harm local waterways and ecosystems.
