Drains

So apparently they put a ton of thought into figuring out what size/material/shape storm drains to use. You figure out the maximum volume of water per second you want flowing through the drains, then you can figure out the diameter, pitch, and depth of the storm drain to use. Ditto for the rooms with manhole covers. Who would have thought? I kind of figured maybe they just sort of guessed. Apparently not.
