How should capabilities to divert flow throughout a collection system be indicated?

The capability to divert flow throughout a collection system should be indicated clearly on a map because maps provide a visual representation that can be easily interpreted by operators and maintenance personnel. Maps allow for quick reference in emergency situations, making it easier to locate diversion points and understand the flow dynamics of the system. A well-marked map can show critical infrastructure points, including valves and controls that direct flow, ensuring that users have the necessary information to manage the system effectively. This visual cue is integral for quick response times and proper operational planning.

While detailed reports, written documents, and digital formats can hold valuable information, they may not offer the immediate visual clarity that a map does. Maps can be quickly referenced on-site, making them particularly useful for real-time decision-making and ensuring that everyone involved in the management of the collection system can easily understand where and how the flow can be diverted.
