Abstract
In the design of above-ground drainage systems, a division is made into pipes for conveyance of water-bound discharges (wastes) and those for conveyance of human discharges (soil pipes). Below-ground drainage installations are classified by two divisions but using the titles:
-
(a)
surface water or rainwater drains; and
-
(b)
foul water drains.
