This web site is intended to provide a medium for communication and education for both issues. Visitors to this website will find educational documents and information from universities and industry, research abstracts for current drainage projects, a drainage discussion forum called Ask Dr. Drainage , a contacts database of drainage professionals, guides and tools for planning and design , a list of surface intake project designs , a calendar of events , and a photo archive .
