Exfiltration systems can be thought of as linear soakaways; designed for both conveyance and [[infiltration]] of excess stormwater.

Exfiltration systems can be thought of as infiltration trenches that are integrated with conventional stormwater conveyance systems (i.e. catch basins, solid pipes and maintenance holes); designed for both conveyance and [[infiltration]] of excess stormwater.
By attenuating runoff volume, they reduce contaminant loads delivered to downstream BMPs, end-of-pipe facilities or receiving waterbodies.
