1. Trenching: Digging trenches or ditches in the soil to allow excess water to flow away from the area.
2. French drains: Installing a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel or rock to collect and redirect water away from the soil.
3. Installing drainage tiles: Placing plastic or ceramic pipes with small holes in them underground to collect and redirect water.
4. Grading: Adjusting the slope or grade of the soil to encourage water to flow away from the area.
5. Installing a sump pump: Using a pump to remove excess water from the soil and discharge it away from the area.
6. Adding organic matter: Mixing in organic materials such as compost or mulch to improve soil structure and drainage.
7. Installing a dry well: Creating a pit filled with gravel or rock that collects and slowly releases excess water into the surrounding soil.
8. Using raised beds: Planting in raised beds can help improve drainage by allowing excess water to flow away more easily.

1. French Drains:
- Trenches filled with gravel or perforated pipe to redirect groundwater away from the drainage area.
- Installed underground along the path of water flow.
2. Sump Pumps:
- Devices that collect water from a low point in a drainage area and pump it away.
- Typically installed in basements or crawl spaces.
3. Surface Drains:
- Grates or openings placed at ground level to collect surface water and direct it to a storm sewer or other drainage system.
- Useful for diverting rainwater and runoff.
4. Subsurface Drains:
- Pipes or tiles buried underground to collect and remove excess water from the soil.
- Can be used to control groundwater levels and prevent waterlogging.
5. Grading:
- Shaping the land surface to redirect water away from areas that need to be dry.
- Involves creating slopes and berms to control water flow.
6. French Trenches:
- Shallow trenches filled with gravel or stones to collect and drain surface water.
- Used to intercept water before it reaches a drainage area.
7. Dry Wells:
- Holes filled with gravel or crushed stone that allow water to seep into the ground.
- Useful for disposing of rainwater and runoff from roofs or gutters.
8. Permeable Pavements:
- Surfaces made from porous materials such as porous concrete or permeable pavers that allow water to infiltrate into the soil.
- Help reduce runoff and replenish groundwater.
9. Bioretention Swales:
- Gently sloping channels filled with vegetation that filter and absorb surface water runoff.
- Remove pollutants and promote infiltration.
10. Rain Gardens:
- Depressions planted with native plants that absorb and filter rainwater.
- Also known as biofiltration gardens or rain barrels.
- Trenches filled with gravel or perforated pipe to redirect groundwater away from the drainage area.
- Installed underground along the path of water flow.
