Original Abstract

Contrary to traditional practice when rainwater is collected and conveyed from urban areas by combined, or storm sewers, present approach to the integrated stormwater control consists in the accumulation and infiltration of rainwater at the place of its origin. For design of the rainwater infiltration facility, the geological survey must be carried out, the method of infiltration has to be proposed and hydraulic calculation should be carried out. The design is subject to numerous uncertainties, arising from different conditions the infiltration tests, in design parameters and in operating an infiltration facility. In this chapter, the review of the most used facilities for infiltration is presented together with a brief description of geotechnical investigation and hydraulic approach recommended in the Czech Republic. An analysis of factors influencing the process of infiltration is carried out, related uncertainties influencing the design of the storage volume of the infiltration facility are discussed.
