RigolenSysteme
RigolenSysteme refers to a family of modular drainage and infiltration solutions that use underground trenches filled with porous media to manage water and improve groundwater recharge. The term is commonly used in German-speaking regions and other parts of Europe to describe engineered systems that emulate natural infiltration processes while providing controlled drainage for stormwater, wastewater effluent, or agricultural drainage.
RigolenSysteme typically consist of a trench or chamber within a porous backfill, sometimes paired with perforated
Common applications include decentralized stormwater management, urban and rural infiltration wells, and agricultural drainage improvements. They
Performance hinges on proper design, installation, and ongoing maintenance. Regular inspection, sediment and clogging control, and
RigolenSysteme emerged in the context of sustainable drainage and low-impact development, reflecting a shift toward infiltrative,
