Abstract

Disposal, respectively safe drainage of rainwater runoff is a problem of almost every new building in an urban area and in area with undersized sewage systems . Design and use of infiltration facilities as a sustainable method of rainwater runoff disposal become an integral part of the drainage management and projects of sewerage system of buildings or other paved surfaces. The permeability of infiltration zone is an essential qualitative and quantitative prerequisite for infiltration of rainwater. Permeability is represented by a filtration coefficient kf, which represents the effectiveness of infiltration facilities, respectively ability of subsoil infiltrate incoming rainwater. Therefore, the most important design parameter of the infiltration facilities is to determine the filtration coefficient kf on-site. With the correct design, realization and maintenance of infiltration facilities, it should be operation of this device fluent and without complications. It is therefore necessary that the designer of the infiltration facilities known hydrogeological conditions in the interest area. This article aims to provide an overview of the measured data of infiltration systems at the campus of Technical University of Košice and describes the effectiveness of infiltration facilities—infiltration shafts in real conditions.
