Design a Flow

Measure twice
To cut once
Make the model
Realistic to scale
In proper detail
Do not fail
To mark the faults
Upon the site
Because you must
Provide drainage right
To the retention pond
Water won't sink through
An impervious surface
And drain
It will remain
Without a pitch
To lead it in the ditch
Where culverts may run
Hidden under traffic some
Still must be shown
In representation
How one will handle
Weather events
Even those unexpected
Should not flood
Out into the street
Design
So as to keep
A flow
Of where the water
Will want to go
Naturally
Following the contours
Rushing rain
Into the storm drain
