INFILTRATION &
DETENTION
The system for the Darien Library provides for the biofiltra-
tion, cleaning and recharging of water on-site, and promotes
the sustainability of the system through ease of maintenance.
Equally important, it minimizes the release of storm water
off-site, a condition that could create flooding and pollution
in adjacent and downstream properties. The release of water
off-site will be less than it was before the site was developed
even though impervious surfaces have increased significantly.
