This paper reviews the effects and importance of drainage on highway pavement by reviewing various research works carried out by various researchers. The topmost reason for the failure of the roads is rainwater. At the time of rainfall, some amount of water flows on the road and some amount of it percolates through ground soil mass and reaches to groundwater. Thus, this water or moisture content in pavement causes the premature weakening, modulus reduction and reduction in SBC. These scathing effects can be reduced by preventing water from entering into the pavement by providing the adequate drainage system. These can be done by various water resisting materials like waste plastic, used or burnt oil, zycosil etc.
