Problems solved by technology

The underground systems do not use valuable surface areas.
However, a large amount of fill gravel is required because of the configuration and this adds to the installation cost.
In addition the gaps between the rows of modules increases the land area required for such a system, which in turn adds to the installation costs.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]The present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.

[0018]Referring initially to FIG. 1, the illustrated underground stormwater management system 10 is being used to recharge an aquifer 20. For illustration purposes, the underground stormwater management system 10 is installed under a parking lot 12 adjacent a building 14. Runoff water from a rainstorm, for example, is directed to a drainpipe 16 covered by a drainage grate 18. The drainpipe 16 directs the runoff water to the stormwater management system 10....

Abstract

A stormwater management system including: a plurality of adjacent modules with each module comprising alternating domed cell units and interconnector units and wherein each domed cell unit of a module includes a pair of spaced apart vertical sidewalls that curve outwards with respect to a centerline extending lengthwise through the module; and each interconnector unit of a module includes a pair of spaced apart vertical sidewalls 52 that curve inwards with respect to the same centerline, wherein the outwardly curved vertical sidewalls of the domed cell units of any module are thus nested with the inwardly curved vertical sidewalls of the interconnector units of the next adjacent module.

Description

[0001]This application claims the priority of U.S. provisional application 61 / 151,039 filed on Feb. 9, 2009 in the United States Patent office.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the field of water retention and detention systems, and more particularly, to an underground stormwater management system for water recharging or reclamation.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Stormwater management systems accommodate runoff at a given site by diverting or storing stormwater and preventing pooling of water at the ground surface. Water collected by the stormwater management system may be used for recharging an aquifer, or may be reclaimed for a beneficial use, such as landscape irrigation, for example.[0004]An underground stormwater management system is generally utilized when the surface area on a building site is not available to accommodate other types of systems such as open reservoirs, basins or ponds. The underground systems do not use valuable surface areas. Und...
