Rain runs off to the edges of the road, where curbs and guttering gather it and guide it to inlets. The rainwater then drops down the inlets into contained pools of water, designed to absorb energy. The water then flows through concrete pipes under the right-ofway, with pipe sizing increasing occasionally to handle the mounting water flow being collected.

At some point, the flow is diverted to grassy or concrete swales, with possibly some stretches of large rock called riprap to further break up the energy of the runoff. The flow, by now calmed down, may end up in a retention pond. Here, pollution and sediment sink to
