Hi,
Overflow are usually used with hand basins, baths and kitchen sink. 
Safety feature if a tap left running with drain plug in position. The water will then escape via the overflow outlet rather than spilling onto floor surface.

Mel · Answer

It simply means that if a tap is left on by mistake, the water will not run over onto the floor, but drain into a pipe behind the sink, and into the original waste (in modern sinks).

Daniel · Answer

What is an overflow drain? An overflow is an opening that helps prevent flooding by rerouting excess water back to the drain pipe once it reaches a certain level.
