Infiltrasjonsløsninger

Infiltrasjonsløsninger refers to methods and systems designed to manage stormwater runoff by allowing it to soak into the ground. The primary goal of these solutions is to mimic natural hydrologic processes, reducing the volume and speed of surface water that would otherwise enter conventional drainage systems. This helps to replenish groundwater, reduce the burden on sewer systems, and mitigate the risk of flooding and erosion.

Common types of infiltrasjonsløsninger include infiltration basins, which are excavated depressions designed to hold and slowly release stormwater, and infiltration trenches, which are narrow, gravel-filled excavations that filter and absorb water. Permeable pavements, such as porous asphalt or concrete, and permeable pavers also fall under this category, allowing water to pass through the surface directly into the ground below. Green roofs, while primarily for building insulation and amenity, also contribute to infiltration by retaining a portion of rainfall.

The effectiveness of infiltrasjonsløsninger depends on several factors, including soil type, groundwater levels, and maintenance. Soils with high permeability are ideal for infiltration. Regular maintenance, such as sediment removal and vegetation management, is crucial to prevent clogging and ensure continued functionality. By promoting the absorption of rainwater, these solutions play an important role in sustainable urban drainage and water management.
