The primary function of bibliographic citations is to assist the reader in finding the sources used in the writing of a work. To these basic citations, the annotated bibliography adds descriptive and evaluative comments (i.e., an annotation), assessing the nature and value of the cited works. The addition of commentary provides the future reader or researcher essential critical information and a foundation for further research.
French drain. A French drain or weeping tile (also blind drain, rubble drain, rock drain, drain tile, perimeter drain, land drain, French ditch, sub-surface drain, sub-soil drain or agricultural drain) is a trench filled with gravel or rock or containing a perforated pipe that redirects surface water and groundwater away from an area.
Using both Stone and Pea Gravel. Though more expensive, complicated, and time consuming, using both pea gravel and stone together is one of the best ways to form a French drain. Pea gravel is laid first, then your pipe. Being careful not to injure the pipe, drainlayers form a layer of larger stone on top of the pipe then finish with a layer of pea gravel. The large stone on the bottom helps give maximum drainage while the smaller pea gravel on top makes laying sod over the drain possible.
