Why is it important to have a 100% grass cover in a Drain?🌿

Barren and Exposed Drain:

❌ Increase Risk of Erosion: Lack of vegetation leads to higher erosion risk.

❌ Increase of Drain Blocking: Risk of water damage to structures and flooding in the surrounding areas rises significantly.

❌ Higher Pollutant Runoff: No natural filtration system results in more pollutants reaching water bodies.

❌ Declining Water Quality: Without nutrient absorption, water quality deteriorates.

❌ Habitat Loss: Eliminates habitat for plants, insects, and animals, reducing biodiversity.

❌ Diminished Aesthetics: The absence of greenery makes the drainway visually unappealing.

Fully stabilized and vegetated Drain:

✅ Erosion Control: Grass slows down water flow, reducing erosion.

✅ Sediment Filtration: Vegetation acts as a natural filter, trapping pollutants and sediment.

✅ Nutrient Management: Grass absorbs and prevents nutrient runoff, improving water quality.

✅ Habitat Creation: Provides habitat for plants, animals, and supports biodiversity.

✅ Aesthetically Pleasing: Greenery enhances the visual appeal of the landscape.
