Culvert Diagram - How Stormwater Drainage Systems Work #97738 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized diagram depicts a typical corrugated metal culvert embedded in an earthen embankment, allowing water to flow beneath a roadway or levee. The illustration highlights key components: the inlet/outlet openings, surrounding riprap (rocks), stratified soil layers, and surface vegetation. It serves as an educational tool for civil engineering, environmental science, and infrastructure planning contexts.

Used on municipal engineering websites, environmental education portals, or civil infrastructure training materials to explain stormwater management systems; targets students, planners, and public works professionals seeking visual understanding of culvert functionality.
