Aquifer
An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt).

Bay
A bay is a recessed, coastal body of water that directly connects to a larger main body of water, such as an ocean, a lake, or another bay.

Best management practice for water pollution
Best management practices (BMP) is a term used in the United States and Canada to describe a type of water pollution control.

Clay
Clay is a finely-grained natural rock or soil material that combines one or more clay minerals with possible traces of quartz (SiO2), metal oxides (Al2O3, MgO etc.) and organic matter.

Detention basin
A detention basin or retarding basin is an excavated area installed on, or adjacent to, tributaries of rivers, streams, lakes or bays to protect against flooding and, in some cases, downstream erosion by storing water for a limited period of time.

Dry well
A dry well or drywell is an underground structure that disposes of unwanted water, most commonly surface runoff and stormwater, and in some cases greywater.
New!!: Infiltration basin and Dry well · See more »
Erosion
In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transport it to another location (not to be confused with weathering which involves no movement).

Flood
A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry.

French drain
A French drain or weeping tile (also trench drain, filter drain, blind drain, rubble drain, rock drain, drain tile, perimeter drain, land drain, French ditch, sub-surface drain, sub-soil drain or agricultural drain) is a trench filled with gravel or rock or containing a perforated pipe that redirects surface water and groundwater away from an area.

Georgia (U.S. state)
Georgia is a state in the Southeastern United States.

Groundwater
Groundwater is the water present beneath Earth's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations.

Infiltration (hydrology)
Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil.
New!!: Infiltration basin and Infiltration (hydrology) · See more »
Lake
A lake is an area filled with water, localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land, apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake.
New!!: Infiltration basin and Lake · See more »
Percolation trench
A percolation trench, also called an infiltration trench, is a type of best management practice (BMP) that is used to manage stormwater runoff, prevent flooding and downstream erosion, and improve water quality in an adjacent river, stream, lake or bay.

Rain garden
One of the wide variety of soil-absorption/filter systems, a rain garden, also called as stormwater garden, is a designed depression storage or a planted hole that allows rainwater runoff from impervious urban areas, like roofs, driveways, walkways, parking lots, and compacted lawn areas, the opportunity to be absorbed.

Retention basin
A retention basin, sometimes called a wet pond, wet detention basin or stormwater management pond, is an artificial lake with vegetation around the perimeter, and includes a permanent pool of water in its design.
New!!: Infiltration basin and Retention basin · See more »
River
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river.
New!!: Infiltration basin and River · See more »
Sediment
Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of wind, water, or ice, and/or by the force of gravity acting on the particles.

Septic drain field
Septic drain fields, also called leach fields or leach drains, are subsurface wastewater disposal facilities used to remove contaminants and impurities from the liquid that emerges after anaerobic digestion in a septic tank.
New!!: Infiltration basin and Septic drain field · See more »
Soil compaction
In geotechnical engineering, soil compaction is the process in which a stress applied to a soil causes densification as air is displaced from the pores between the soil grains.
New!!: Infiltration basin and Soil compaction · See more »
Stormwater
Stormwater, also spelled storm water, is water that originates during precipitation events and snow/ice melt.
New!!: Infiltration basin and Stormwater · See more »
Stream
A stream is a body of water with surface water flowing within the bed and banks of a channel.
New!!: Infiltration basin and Stream · See more »
Sump
A sump (American English and some parts of Canada: oil pan) is a low space that collects often undesirable liquids such as water or chemicals.
New!!: Infiltration basin and Sump · See more »
Surface runoff
Surface runoff (also known as overland flow) is the flow of water that occurs when excess stormwater, meltwater, or other sources flows over the Earth's surface.

Sustainable drainage system
A sustainable drainage system (SuDs,, Sharma, D., 2008 SuDS, SUDSScottish Government. Planning Services (2001). Planning Advice Note 61. 2001-07-27.) is designed to reduce the potential impact of new and existing developments with respect to surface water drainage discharges.

United States
The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S.) or America, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions.
