Drainage refers to the process of directing water or waste away from an area to prevent flooding or water buildup. It involves the use of pipes, channels, or other structures to move liquid waste, rainwater, or excess water to a designated area, such as a sewer or natural water body. Good drainage helps keep surfaces dry and safe, preventing damage to buildings or land. This system is commonly used in areas like roads, farms, and urban environments to manage water flow and avoid flooding.

Peat is a dark, spongy material that forms over time in wetlands from the remains of dead plants and other organic matter. It is often used in gardening and agriculture as a soil conditioner or as an ingredient in potting mixes, helping to improve soil structure and moisture retention. Peat is light, holds water well, and is slightly acidic, which makes it beneficial for certain plants. However, it takes thousands of years to form, and its extraction can harm the environment, so it is important to use it carefully.
