Soakaways for rainwater are commonly used in areas where there is no surface water drainage system, such as rural areas or large open spaces. They are also used in urban areas to manage surface water run-off from hard surfaces such as roofs, driveways, and paved areas. The construction of a soakaway involves digging a hole in the ground and filling it with a permeable material such as gravel or crushed stone. The size of the hole and the amount of material used will depend on the amount of rainwater that needs to be managed. The soakaway should be located at least five meters away from any buildings or property boundaries and should not be placed in an area of high water table or in contaminated ground.
