Surface Water Storage Systems

The modular honeycomb nature of geocellular systems means that they can be tailored to suit the specific requirements of any site.

Surface water storage systems.

Types of water storage groundwater. Drainage or discharge of water out of the area is always a slower process than storage close to where the water falls. Water storage tanks are an essential part of any rainwater harvesting system or a component in suds attenuation system for smaller systems this maybe an above ground tank or a free standing tank located in a plant room. The potential is limited by a lack of additional streamflow needed to fill an expanded storage system.

An on farm water storage ofws system is a structural best management practice that captures and stores surface water runoff so that it can be used at a later time for irrigation. For larger systems this is far more likely to be a below ground tank. In areas where there s liitle room for surface water storage creative solutions are sought. Geocellular systems can be used to control and manage rainwater surface water runoff either as a soakaway or as a storage tank.

The white paper integrating surface water storage into california s changing water system in november of 2014 found that at most california s largest water systems could potentially use between 5 and 6 million acre feet of storage capacity. The depth at which soil pore spaces or fractures and voids in rock become completely saturated with water is called the water table. Its flexible modular structure is light but strong making it ideal for use beneath areas such as roads car parks and industrial areas.
