Storm water is water that runs off roofs, driveways and other surfaces during rains. This water is enormous and needs to be diverted as it may create problem if left unattended. Storm water pits can be answer to this problem as they are designed to collect and store water temporarily.
Storm water drains are fitted to storm water pits as they help to manage trade waste products. Storm drains and pipes channel the flow of water and make path for the excess water to reach streams and rivers.
These pits are generally constructed large enough so that the water that pours in can be drained out with a speed so that the tank never fills to its fullest. Trade water products can cause more problem than expected as they may lead to water logging and may also flood in to the house if proper care is not taken.
A storm water pit and drainage system involves more than digging a hole, setting a structure or laying and connecting a drain pipe. For a storm water pit to function effectively, the tank needs to be of correct size, with an appropriate filtration system to prevent backup or malfunctioning. The tank needs to be constructed from material that is suitable for its use. Materials like plastic, aluminum etc are used for making these pits.
