Spoon drains are small open drains that can drain smaller areas.
If spoon drains are not maintained properly they will cause flooding or direct water not captured to another area where it is not desirable.
Very often the spoon drains have small grating pits in the end the meant to capture the water they catch. Very often the pit is very small and gets blocked easily.
The photos above is show a spoon drain that is blocked. It is meant to capture water from the footpath and deliver it to the Side Entry Pit at Kerb and Channel of the roadway.
