In simple terms, anything that allows water to pass through to the soil below is, essentially, a filtration system. Designed to enable, or enhance, the infiltration of surface water run-off into the ground, a filtration system can be used in isolation but also as part of a 3D (multiple plane) infiltration system.
In the context of SuDS design, a hierarchal approach is taken to how surface water should be managed within a development. Where infiltration systems are required to be considered in the first instance, prior to options that result in a discharge outside the development; whether this is to an adjacent river, watercourse or sewer.
Infiltration of surface water can offer the following potential benefits:
Reduces the total volume of run-off discharged outside a development; thereby reducing the total attenuation storage that may be required, in addition to delivering interception for the contributing surfaces drained to the system.
Replenishes local ground water, which may also help support local water course base flow.
Maintains site soil moisture levels, supporting vegetation and planting and, in turn, attracts biodiversity.
