imeytyskentät
Imeytyskentät, also known as infiltration areas or soakaways, are underground structures designed to manage stormwater runoff. Their primary function is to allow rainwater, typically from impermeable surfaces like roofs, driveways, and paved areas, to slowly seep into the surrounding soil. This process helps to reduce the volume of surface water that enters conventional drainage systems, thereby mitigating the risk of flooding and easing the burden on wastewater treatment plants.
These structures are typically constructed by excavating a pit and filling it with permeable materials such
The benefits of imeytyskentät extend beyond flood prevention. By allowing water to infiltrate the ground, they
