I recently saw a YT short video describing Renaissance Italian plaza with central water well. About 75% of plaza was excavated and refilled with clean sand. The surface was then covered in dressed stone/tile(?). Roof drains emptied into the 4 corners of the plaza. The water slowly percolated through the sand toward the center where a brick lined well made access to the filtered water possible. Impressive for 14th-15th C

I suggest replacing the piping from the downspouts to the "tanks" with permeable drainage piping. Its made of the same stuff, flexible, perforated, and you cover it in a membrane sock before burying it in a permeable material, it will allow fluid to permeate into it all along it's length and direct it into the retention system, as well as directing the input fluid into the system as usual.
@MaxMakerChannelАй бұрын
Not sure if the rainwater on the inside would not leak out.
@MrManningataАй бұрын
@@MaxMakerChannel it's not really an issue, as during a rainstorm water is going into the pipe through the perforations. Additionally, the pipe is only perforated on the top half, so the invert of the pipe is smooth and not interrupted.

Even though germany had a lot of rain this year, I think the more future proof solution would have been to use that space for some big water tanks to store the rainwater during dry months. I would have guessed that hooking up the downspouts to an existing street frain would have been way easier that building a drain field?

This is one thing I plan on doing as well. Though the clean out is going to be a small tank/box of some sort which will be easy to access. I am thinking something along the lines of a 250/500 gallon septic tank system. This way the tank may take decades to fill up. One thing is the fabric under the tunnels. I now have to consider this as well. In our septic field they do not put fabric under them as i suspect that over time small amounts of debris can flow from the tank in to the field. I think you would need 2 separate tanks inline to filter that water much better. Somthing to think about.

@MaxMakerChannelАй бұрын
I was considering that. But water is so cheap that it doesn’t make economic sense. 1000l cost about 5€. So we might pay 100€ a year for water. If a tank costs 3000€ it will pay for itself only in 30 years. And thats excluding maintenance.

There are 4 access shafts that are lower than the foundation. So any rain would re-emerge from there and flood the garden and ultimately the street.

Ne das geht nicht. Denn wo Wasser fließt bewegt sich auch der Untergrund und das könnte ein Gebäude absacken lassen. Man braucht auch einen Statiker der dafür gerade stehen möchte.

Are these things cheaper then just filling a similar hole with coarsely crushed rocks and perhaps a manhole if it doesn't drain down to the substrate fast enough?
@MaxMakerChannelАй бұрын
Yes! I did the calculations. The rocks are cheap but the transportation is expensive. Also rocks only provide 1/3 of the volume as these tunnels do for a given area. So you need to dig a much bigger hole.
@KevinHoreckaАй бұрын
Would there be any concern with things shifting while dumping the sand on or maybe even with some amount of settling? Seems like some basic fasteners throughout would have lowered the risk of anything coming apart.

The tunnels get presses together by weight. No danger there. The tunnel would support much more weight if I had compacted the sand. But I did so much compacting previously that I couldn’t be asked.
