Abstract: A reservoir drainage system drains water away from a soil around a footing foundation of a structure and collects the drained water outside of the same. The system includes a network of drainage tubes externally rounding a perimeter of the footing foundation and connected to a collecting tube. The latter collects the drained water from the network and directs it by gravity into a collecting reservoir member located outside of the structure below a bottom level of the foundation. The drainage network has a first part that is substantially horizontally leveled and longitudinally runs along a first portion of the perimeter and generally against the same. The network also includes a second part that continues the first part, is connected to it at an upper end and longitudinally runs along a complementary second portion of the perimeter. The second part slightly outwardly diverts away and is downwardly inclined from the footing foundation down to a lower end connected to the collecting tube.
