Exfiltration trenches are similar to [[infiltration trenches]] but differ primarily in the the manner in which stormwater is delivered to the trench.<br>

Runoff enters infiltration trenches directly by infiltration from the surface. In exfiltration systems, surface runoff is collected by drainage [[inlets]] and delivered to the trench via subsurface perforated [[pipes]].
