Division of a good drainage system
A good drainage system is divided into the following;
. Surface drainage system
A surface drainage system is one in which the water channels are exposed peripherally but well framed channels for a good water outflow.
. Subsurface drainage system
A sub surface drainage system is one having its water channels under a surface well framed for an outflow of water.
. Crossed drainage system
A crossed drainage system is one having its water channels crossed so as to reduce its flow water intensity though well framed. Its importance is that it prevents drain water from mixing with canal water.

The major prerequisite for a good water drainage system include; A road side chains, catch water drains, cross drainage works, measures for increasing slope stability.
The main essence for these is that water is intercepted and diverted to natural streams thereby proving a good road network free of water flooding.
