Drainage
Drainage is the process that allows water and wastewater
to be carried away from one area to another by either natural or
man-made channels. The following pages set out to explain the basic
responsibilities of individuals, towards the maintenance of
drainage systems, and the role of South Lakeland District Council
and other agencies in assisting the public in drainage
matters.
