infiltration systems

Infiltration systems are designed to manage and treat rainwater or runoff by allowing it to soak into the ground naturally. Typically installed underground, they consist of trenches, chambers, or vaults filled with permeable materials like gravel, which temporarily hold water. This process helps recharge groundwater, reduces the burden on storm drains, and minimizes surface flooding. Infiltration systems are commonly used in sustainable urban drainage to control runoff, improve water quality, and promote environmentally friendly water management practices.
