Understanding Drains: Types, Functions, and Maintenance Needs

A drain is a pipe or channel that carries away waste water or other liquids. It can be used to describe the pipes in your home that carry waste water from sinks, showers, and toilets to the sewer system, or it can refer to larger channels that carry water away from a specific area, such as a storm drain or a drainage ditch.

Example sentences:

* The clogged drain caused the sink to back up and flood the kitchen.
* The new development includes a network of drains to prevent flooding in the area.
* The city's sewer system is designed to carry waste water through a series of underground drains to the treatment plant.
