Can you think of the reasons why we need
plumbing?

A suitable plan for where discharge pipes will go
Planning of pipe layout prior to plumbing
A suitable supply of water
External pipes are Parallel to building
Secure pipes
The important things we must consider
when plumbing are:

A storage tank
Where does the water come from?

GRADIENT
Here water is flowing down
But here water is NOT flowing down as water can not go above gradient line.
