Storm drains are designed to manage excess rainwater and prevent flooding by directing water away from streets and properties. When it rains, water flows into the storm drain through grates or openings, where it is channeled into a system of underground pipes. These pipes carry the water to local waterways, such as rivers or oceans, or to retention basins for temporary storage. This system helps maintain drainage in urban areas, reducing the risk of water accumulation and property damage.
