Urban Exploration:
This is a hobby shared, to various degrees, by people all over the planet. The common thread seems to be an innate curiosity, which manifests itself in the drive to discover our environment, which happens to be urban. By going places others normally do not go, and seeing things other rarely see, we are able to learn about and gain a deeper knowledge of the world that we've build around ourselves.
Nearly everything I would say to explain Urban Exploration has already been well said by someone else. If you'd like to learn more, an excellent starting point is Infiltration.org. From the well-written No Disclaimer (go read it!) to the informative Infilspeak Dictionary, there is a ton of information on this website. Also, the Worldwide Links page is probably the most complete directory of Urban Exploration and related websites on the internet.
Exploring Drains in Edmonton:
I could go on at length about Edmonton's underground world, but instead I will boil down a few basic facts. Drains (slang for) are storm sewers which convey water from the roadways to the creeks and river; the sanitary and combined sewer systems are different pipes that I do not explore because they are filled with sewage, unpleasant, and very dangerous. Edmonton has many storm sewer pipes and structures, located all across the city; many of these are quite large, built to drain large amounts of water. The storm sewer system is not meant for human passage and there are many dangers present; exploring drains should not be attempted by the unprepared (and never when it rains!). For more general (non-exploring) information and facts about the sewers, the City of Edmonton's Drainage Services website is helpful; and I've also located a useful Glossary of drainage terms.
