Solution
It is important to have proper drainage systems because:
- Sewage leaves our houses through drain pipes and flows to the main sewers of the city.
- Most sewer pipes are underground. So, if there is any leakage in the pipes, then sewage water can directly contaminate groundwater sources.
- If the drainage systems above the ground are not proper, then the surface fresh water sources can be contaminated, spreading water related diseases.
- Diseases are also caused by open drain systems because it is a breeding place for flies, mosquitoes and microorganisms.
