Wastewater management of floodland rain - a genius catchment! (8)
I believe the answer is:
drainage
'wastewater management' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'of floodland rain a genius catchment' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'DRAINAGE' can be found hidden inside 'floodland rain a genius catchment'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drainage that I've seen before include "Facility for water removal" , "System for removing liquid" , "System to manage waste water" , "System of waste pipes" , "Removal of waste water" .)
