Hello everyone, My name is Johnny and this time I am going to introduce you to the Rainwater Infiltration Well, in this publication I will clarify what a stormwater infiltration well is, what it is for and its practical operation through a mockup you make.

Normally one tends to direct the water through the sewer outwards, towards the street when it rains obviously all that is saturated, we contribute to the sewer being full of things, dirt, garbage and debris among other things and if each house has an Infiltration well inside We help everything flow better, everything works better.

An Infiltration well is basically a hole dug in the ground and then filled with rocks, which has the function of draining and absorbing rainwater more efficiently, this is done especially in soils that have a very impermeable surface layer of earth. and that the water does not filter easily or efficiently, in the environment we have a soil with these characteristics, here we can see this type of soil, which has very compacted soil, therefore its infiltration of water will be quite difficult We see how the water still remains here on the surface, therefore the water cannot be absorbed efficiently and stagnates very easily. What is done in this type of case is that a rainwater sewer network is built, which is responsible for draining all the rainwater and avoiding this type of problem, however, not in all cases it can be Having this means, therefore, a sustainable ecology alternative is a rainwater infiltration well because it is easier to build and efficient when working.

The Infiltration pit is made up of a hole that is dug at least one meter deep, it is made up of a small layer of sand at the bottom, another layer of large stone, a layer of gravel and a last layer of gravel, this last layer It will be responsible for superficially absorbing rainwater, normally a small slope can also be built on one of the sides or around it depending on the system to be designed.

Next we will see how this works, once the water falls how we can see that the water passes the different layers and is drained more effectively into the soil

You can see how the water has dropped, passing through the entire layer of gravel and gravel.

Also by the layer of bolts and finally reaches the final part of the sand; normally here it would begin to be absorbed by the bottom and the side walls.

As conclusions, we can say that it is an excellent method of sustainable ecology at the domestic level due to its ease of construction, its effective functionality and its impact on the environment, however, in some cases it may be necessary to take certain considerations when it comes to build this element of sustainable ecology. Finally, I can give you certain recommendations, first, do not build near a structure, it must be far away and at least one meter from any structure, for example a house, since if it is built very close it can affect the firmness of the latter, As a second recommendation, I do not recommend this element for treatment of contaminated water since it can contaminate the soil and its water purification is practically nil, third I recommend this element of sustainable ecology only in cases of not having a storm water sewer network or help the system not to saturate it, also if you want to contribute to the environment since it reduces runoff and favoring absorption.
