Water sensitive urban design - Infiltration basins and trenches

Guidance
Benefits and design factors for infiltration basins and trenches
Last updated:

This brochure provides information on infiltration basins and trenches and where they can be used in the water sensitive urban design process.

Infiltration basins are depressions designed to capture and store stormwater before it reaches the soil profile. Infiltration trenches are below-ground linear devices that store stormwater prior to infiltration. Infiltration basins and trenches maintain site water balance and can replenish local groundwater.
