Importance of Drainage Systems

1) They provide drinking water for humans and animals.

2) They provide fishes for humans. Eg. Tilapia, salmon

3) They collect and store excess water, hence minimizing the occurrence of flood.

4) Water bodies provide home or habitat for aquatic plants and animals.

5) They provide plankton and other foods for fishes and other aquatic animals.

6) Large water bodies can be used for transportation eg. Ships travel on the sea

7) Water bodies can be used for dams to generate electricity.

Water bodies are very important and we should therefore take good care of them
