GREEN ROOF DRAINAGE


A green roof, in order to work functionally, needs to have a drain. A drain takes the leftover water, that collects under the dirt, and brings it down, usually to the basement, and purifies it. This will cost a bit because the filtration systems plus the piping with the added fee of, yes, the drain. The drain is an essential item in having a Green roof, and without it, you would waste a lot of water, and the dirt along with it, there is no other way to be energy-conservational.
