Basically no, storm drain is mostly nato ni siya gakakita sa mga street gutter dapit.

Ang primary purpose lang aning storm drian is to collect and mange excess water
like rain water or snowmelt nga very evident nga dli gakahitabo sa PH nga gekan
sa roads, sidewalks, parking lots to channel it awat para dli magbaha.

According to the general rule, storm drain is not permitted to discharge into a
septic tank or to the main sewer line. Ngao man? Basically no, septic tank and
sewer lines kay gihimo to handle domestic wastewater from toilets, sinks, showers,
and other household activities that produce sewage. Once ma-dischare ni ang
storm drain sa septic tank and sewer line ma-overload ang sewer systems and
ma-contaminate sab ang ground waters which can pose a harm on human
health sa environment.

So, there are three classification of storm drain, namely:


The Inside Strom Drain, OUTSIDE STORM DRAIN, OVERHEAD STORM DRAIN.
First is the inside storm drain, from the name itself inside storm drain, makita ni sya located
under the basement floor or within the walls of the building.

Next is the outside storm drainage, basically geina-install ni sya outside sa building.
Mahitabo lang ni sya if ang yuta nga getukuran sa isa building is not fully
occupied by the building.

Next is the overhead storm drain, basically ginatawag sya og overhead because
the system is typically installed above ground and may be visible, as opposed to
underground storm drainage systems that are buried beneath the surface.
However, it just is adopted when the street drainage is higher in elevation than
the basement floor of the building.

Basically, the table shown is the display of sizes of the aforementioned storm drain.
With the diameter of pipe ranging from 75 mm or 3 in to 350 mm or 14 in
depending on the slope percentage in the drained roof area that ranges from
114 to 8830 sq. m.
Here a sample problem,
What size of storm drain is adequate to serve a roof having a slope of 2% with a
general dimensions of 20 x 30 meters.
First is solve for the area, which is resulted 600 sq.m. After since size of storm drain
man ang gepangita, balik ta sa table. Since 2% slope man ang given, dri ta sa
2% nga slope focus. Considering nga atong area is 600 sq.m man so basically
within sya sa limit sa 700 which could be effectively served by a 150 mm or 6 in
pipe dia.
