URBAN

With more streets, parks, gardens are being paved or surfaced, rainwater can no longer drain into the soil and mostly disappear in the stormwater system. However, most stormwater systems are not designed to handle extreme rainfall, resulting in flooded streets and other nuisance for residents and traffic. Replacing or even upgrading storm water systems is an expensive and intensive process. It is cheaper and much better to capture the surplus of relatively clean rainwater and to gradually allow it to infiltrate the soil. Many (urban) areas in Australia suffer from a lack of water. It is a waste to drain the relatively clean rainwater away through the stormwater system. With Hydrorock stonewool solutions, the collected rainwater can gradually seep into the soil, allowing the water balance to be slowly restored.

Passive irrigation: keep the water where you need it the most.
