More About culvert
Culverts have been used for a long time. They help move water where it needs to go. People build them to keep roads dry. They can be made of pipes or big stones.
Culverts help us every day. When it rains, they let water flow away. This keeps our roads safe to drive on. They also help plants and animals.
In the future, we may make better culverts. They can help more with floods. Some new ones can even help clean the water.
