Sand Traps

In water conservation and management, the installation of the right network of pipes and fittings is of crucial importance. Pipeline systems for water management must be able to withstand the heavy volumes of wastewater generated to seamlessly ensure that there is no water accumulation or flooding. In water management systems, sand traps are an important type of fitting and are installed at the subsurface level. Let us try and understand the role that sand traps play in water management:

 For wastewater management, there are several contraptions which are installed throughout the pipeline network which ensures that there is smooth outflow of the rainwater. Among the different fittings which are installed in the wastewater management system, a small but significant contraption is the sand trap. As its very name suggests, a sand trap is installed to keep out the sand and other gravel particle from getting into the main sewage tanks. Let us understand how the sand trap plays a crucial role in water management: 1.        Sand trap serve to keep the larger sand particles out of the water being drained in a wastewater management system installed at the surface level, and hence prevent blockages for smooth and efficient functionality. They also help in ensuring that only clean water flows into the main sewers, even in the case of heavy rainfall and flooding. 2.        The installation of sand traps in roof drainage systems, in conventional gutter drains as well as in siph
