Catch basins have a sump area below the outflow pipe that enables sediment to be collected ... The advantage of the catch basin ... is that, although the sump must be cleaned out periodically, a catch basin will cause less sedimentation in the drainage system. This reduces the problem of clogged and damaged drainage pipes, which are much more difficult and expensive to maintain than the sump portion of a catch basin. 1, record 6, English, - sump
