In many respects, the development of infrastructure depends on cross-drainage structures.

Water Flow Management: By allowing water to traverse or pass beneath roads, railroads, and other infrastructure, we can regulate the flow of water and lessen the probability of flooding.

Erosion Prevention: By controlling the flow of water, they stop soil erosion and the collapse of embankments and roads.

Flood Control: By controlling peak water flows, these structures protect the surrounding areas and reduce the likelihood of flooding.

Infrastructure Protection: They keep the infrastructure stable and long-lasting by preventing water damage to it.

System Integration: Hydraulic structures maintain overall efficiency by integrating with the current drainage systems.

Sustainability: Through the resolution of water management issues and the reduction of maintenance requirements, they foster sustainable development.
