water that goes down drains comes from either houses (your roof drainage and gutters, and anything you use in the house such as toilets, sinks, washing machine, showers etc), and also from runoff on roads etc when it rains.

What is a plumbing trap?
When the pipe goes down, and back up, and back down again, the first "up-curve" is called the trap because when the water goes down the drain, not all of it goes back up and down again (thanks to gravity). So there is a little bit of water there and it prevents any gas/odors from coming back up the sewer pipe. Provided that the pressure on the sewer-side of the trap does not exceed atmospheric pressure on the drain-side, the water will not get forced back up. Provided that the water is not allowed to evaporate, there will always be water there. And provided that there is enough water such that the top of the inside curve of the up-turn is lower than the top of the trapped water level, the trapped water will seal out the sewer gas.
Do you install a vent line below the p trap?
The drain pipe should have a vent that goes up where the sink drain goes into it. That is where it vents. Sinks drain because there is nothing causing a vacuum when the water leaves the sink.
