As interest and concern about storm water runoff grow, so do the number of devices and technologies available to manage this problem.  Innovative techniques, like these storm water infiltration chambers shown here, can sometimes be used to overcome space and groundwater problems found in most marinas.  These specially constructed chambers function like more-traditionally used dry wells or concrete septic rings, storing the water and allowing it to filter back into the ground rather than flowing directly into the marina basin.
