Stormwater collects at hardscape surface points, entering into surface drains that are accurately placed where the largest volume of water flows. |
Water flows through the surface drains, traveling through silt and chemical removing filters before it enters the leach field. |
Water then enters a pre-engineered water storage field of void spaced aggregate, naturally filtering the water before migrating into the aqueduct. |
As water travels to the aqueduct, it slowly percolates through a permeable lens, eventually leaching into the natural local soil base. |
