Percolation of Water from Surface Runoff – Case Studies

Abstract

At present great emphasis is placed on draining rainwater from town and village lands through percolation facilities, which represent a sustainable method of handling precipitation water from surface runoff. Therefore, the work is focused on experimental insitu analysis for resolving the percolation of rainwater from surface runoff. The study focused on determining the filtration coefficient, for which existing percolation facilities were used, so-called percolation shafts in two study areas, on the basis of confrontation of theoretical and practical analyses. The use of percolation facilities is demonstrated in the work; this represents an effective method of draining precipitation water from surface runoff for a specific project design.
