soakage well

A soakage well, also known as a dry well, is a type of drainage system that is used to dispose of excess water from a property. It is typically a large hole or pit, usually dug into the ground, that collects and holds water until it can be absorbed into the surrounding soil. The water is then naturally filtered by the soil and recharges the groundwater supply. Soakage wells are often used in areas where there is poor drainage or where stormwater runoff is a problem. They can also be used to dispose of wastewater from septic systems or to manage excess water from irrigation systems.
