 Infiltration basins are depressions that collect and store stormwater until it can infiltrate into the subsoil.  Sediment settles out in the device, and nutrients, metals, and organic material are adsorbed by the soil as the water infiltrates.  Infiltration basins may also be designed to reduce peak flows from a site if the storage capacity of the device is increased and a stable outlet structure is included in the design. Infiltration basins are depressions that collect and store stormwater until it can infiltrate into the subsoil.  Sediment settles out in the device, and nutrients, metals, and organic material are adsorbed by the soil as the water infiltrates.  Infiltration basins may also be designed to reduce peak flows from a site if the storage capacity of the device is increased and a stable outlet structure is included in the design.
