| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential for heavy rain to cause flooding due to poor drainage, stating that "most athletic facilities that were constructed more than a decade ago have no drainage system or an inadequately designed system." Suggests that drainage systems are beneficial, and briefly details average costs for their installation. Warns that "an irrigation system should never be installed without a drainage system." |
