Cost-Effective Drywell Maintenance Solutions A drywell is a small excavated pit filled with either gravel or stone that plays a vital role in temporary storage of rainwater until it eventually soaks into the ground soil. Its connection to a roof downspout is direct or indirect for effective collection of rainwater. Although it has many merits associated with rain garden, it barely involves landscaping or planting maintenance. Many people prefer to install a drywell at home because the overall installation cost is affordable. Ideally, it is the one of the quickest and simplest ways to manage rainwater from the rooftop, allowing it to infiltrate through the soil. This in turn recharges the ground aquifer. In addition, it enhances water quality as it effectively reduces rainwater runoff and sewer overflow into the local streams and rivers. Over the course of time, solid and scum, lint as well as soap in wastewater can easily clog openings in the well walls and pores

WHAT IS STORM WATER? Storm water (or polluted runoff) is rain or melting snow that flows over the ground. In urban or developed areas, storm water runs over pavement and parking lots, picking up oil and other pollutants before flowing into a nearby river or stream. In more natural areas including forests and wetlands, storm water can soak into the ground, or be stored and filtered. WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS OF “IMPERVIOUS SURFACES”? Impervious surfaces such as roads, parking lots, and roofs associated with sprawling urban development significantly change natural river flow patterns and the recharge of underground water supplies. Rainfall cannot soak into the ground through these surfaces and thus does not replenish groundwater supplies. Impervious surfaces also increase the amount and speed of water entering rivers and other water bodies. The result is an increase in the severity and frequency of floods, the displacement and destruction of habitat for fish and other water
