What type of drainage system would you expect to find on long island?
On Long Island, you would typically find a combination of stormwater drainage systems, including surface drainage, catch basins, and underground storm sewers. Given the area's coastal and suburban characteristics, these systems are designed to manage rainwater runoff, prevent flooding, and protect water quality in nearby bodies of water. Additionally, many areas may incorporate green infrastructure, such as rain gardens and permeable pavements, to enhance drainage and promote groundwater recharge.
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 is water trap in the street?
A water trap in the street, often referred to as a catch basin or drainage pit, is a designed structure that collects and manages rainwater runoff. It typically features a grate or cover that allows water to enter while filtering out debris, preventing clogs in the drainage system. The trapped water can then be directed to storm drains or retention areas to prevent flooding and maintain proper drainage in urban environments. Additionally, water traps help to improve water quality by allowing sediment and pollutants to settle before the water is discharged into larger waterways.

What is a storm that drops a large amount of rain in a small area in a short period of time?
This type of storm is called a flash flood. It occurs when intense rainfall overwhelms the capacity of the local drainage system, leading to rapid flooding in low-lying areas. Flash floods can be extremely dangerous due to their sudden onset and swift rise in water levels.
Function of a downspout in a roof drainage system?

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
