Abstract:
In one aspect the present invention provides an adjustable head infiltration conduit configured to distribute water adjacent to the conduit and to convey water away from the conduit. This conduit includes a conveyance chamber defining a water flow path through the conduit, and at least one inlet port associated with one end of the water flow path defined by the conveyance chamber. Also provided is at least one outlet port associated with an end of the water flow path distal from said at least one inlet port, and an infiltration chamber in fluid communication with the conveyance chamber. This infiltration chamber includes at least one water permeable area configured to allow water out of the conduit. The infiltration chamber also includes at least one removable intermediate lateral baffle orientated substantially perpendicular to the water flow path defined by the conveyance chamber with the upper edge of said at least one removable intermediate lateral baffle defining the boundary of the infiltration chamber with the conveyance chamber. The removable intermediate lateral baffle or baffles forming at least two retention cells within the infiltration chamber arranged to temporarily store water before dispersal through at least one water permeable surface of the infiltration chamber.
