English term or phrase: Drainage Break
Once a hydrologic connection is identified, it is important to determine how much road length is connected to that point. The length of road draining toward the site, either from one or both sides of the point of connection, needs to be measured to determine the total connected road length. The measurement will extend to a point where the slope of the road changes and begins to drain in the opposite direction, away from the hydrologic connection point. This point is known as the drainage break.
