Infiltration Systems
Infiltration systems are designed to manage stormwater by allowing it to seep into the ground. These systems help reduce surface runoff, which can lead to flooding and water pollution. By promoting natural absorption, infiltration systems support groundwater recharge and maintain the water cycle.
Common types of infiltration systems include infiltration basins, trenches, and permeable pavements. These structures are often used in urban areas to mitigate the impact of development on natural water flow. Properly designed infiltration systems can enhance local ecosystems and improve water quality by filtering pollutants before they reach water bodies.
