Storm drains vary in design from small residential [[dry well]]s to large municipal systems. They are fed by [[street gutter]]s on most [[motorway]]s, freeways and other busy roads, as well as towns in areas which experience heavy rainfall, [[flood]]ing and [[coast]]al towns which experience regular [[storm]]s. {{stub}} [[Category:Drainage]]
