Clay pots are known for absorbing water when a plant is watered, thus preventing a plant from being overwatered. Clay drainage pipes could be used to move drainage water away from a house, and then the water will eventually seep out of the clay and into the ground.

Clay drainage pipes are more reliable than the standard drainage pipes available in the market because the formers are not perishable, they do not get rotten and are reliable for generations.
