    What's the most convenient way for me to plumb drainage channel?

    After having another look, The scottish Government classify surface as rainwater. Confusing? Then they refer the reader to National Annex of BS EN 752: 2008, which when i go there find out it has been withdrawn and superseeded by the 2022 version.

    What's the most convenient way for me to plumb drainage channel?
