Why do you think separate pipes are used for sewage and storm water?
Storm drains go directly to a creek or river with no processing. Sewage has to be treated before going there.1- Many localities have a combination system for storm and soil waste2- The reason there is a requirement for separate storm and sanitary is not to over load the waste treatment plants as required by federal mandates with the clean water safety act3- Dumping storm water is not always allowed to be dumped into a creek /river /lake as storm water drainage on roadways contains petroleum products from the asphalt and some localities use salt during the winter thus salt entering fresh water will kill some of the wild life and compromise the water that may be used for drinking and irrigation
What are different types of drains?
Different types of drains include, cast iron, pvc, galvanized, copper and steel. Furthermore, drains include, down pipes for storm water and sewer, sewer drainage pipes under the ground, gulleys (an opening in the ground where sewer collects, example, where the waste water from a bath or kitchen empties into), A drain is pretty much anything that transports waste water (sewerage) and storm water from one place and then eventually ending up either in a river (only storm water) or municipal waste water pipes which is carried then to the waste water treatment plant. Drains convey Acid waste , storm, sanitary, soil, FOG, slurry.
How do farmers keep the farm from flooding?
Drainage. Water can come in large amounts based on rainfall and sudden and intense storms and this water will collect in low places on land that is flat. Digging ditches that give the water a channel lower than the level of the field can provide a level of drainage to minimize damage from flooding. However, this is not to be taken as a "cure all" for the devastation of a sudden flooding storm or potential infrastructure damage as in the case of a break in an irrigation canal. Planning and strategy come into play in farming much more than most city people might think. ;)

Does storm water get cleaned?
Ideally storm lines should be cleaned yearly, normally in the fall when the leaves have fallen and the drainage system should be cleaned to allow the run off of rain and snow

Why does silt end in basement drain trap?
Normally a storm line does connect to the sanitary system in older buildings and the yard or leader lines are trapped prior to entering a combo system to prevent dangerous sewer gases from entering the storm system and the silt from the storm drainage collects in the storm traps
What is drainage and retention?
Retention is a controlled flow where the system is not over loaded during a heavy rain storm. The storm water is allowed to accumulate to a safe level (bearing weight) and slowly enters the leader lines.
