Infiltration practices direct urban stormwater away from surface runoff paths and into the<br />
underlying soil. In contrast to surface detention methods, which are treatment or delay<br />
mechanisms that ultimately discharge all runoff to streams, infiltration diverts runoff into<br />
groundwater. Of all the traditional stormwater management practices, infiltration is one of<br />
the few practices (together with revegetation and rain tanks) that reduce the overall<br />
volume of stormwater being discharged.<br />
