Solution

Drains:

  1. It is a pipe or channel, which carries off surplus liquid, mainly the liquid waste or rainwater.
  2. The blockage of drains generally takes place by cooking oils and fats.
  3. It should be kept in mind, that oils and fats should not be released in drains as they harden the soil in the sewage pipes and obstruct them.
  4. Fats and oils obstruct the drains and prevent the flow of water.
  5. In an open drain also the water filtering efficiency is prevented by the oils and fats.

Final answer: Drains get blocked by cooking oils and fats.
