<u><em>General Considerations</em></u>
The design of the yard will affect the natural surface and subsurface drainage pattern of a watershed or individual hillslope. Yard drainage design has as its basic objective the reduction or elimination of energy generated by flowing water. The destructive power of flowing water increases exponentially as its velocity increases. Therefore, water must not be allowed to develop sufficient volume or velocity so as to cause excessive wear along ditches, below culverts, or along exposed running surfaces, cuts, or fills.
A yard drainage system must satisfy two main criteria if it is to be effective throughout its design life:
1. It must allow for a minimum of disturbance of the natural drainage pattern.
2.It must drain surface and subsurface water away from the roadway and dissipate it in a way that prevents excessive collection of water in unstable areas and subsequent downstream erosion
