WHY SHOULD I USE waterSHED™?
The need to optimize land use is one of the greatest drivers behind commercial, industrial and residential development decisions. Because detention ponds and other surface containment and filtering systems consume valuable space, they are not your best solution where space is limited.
waterSHED™ systems are built completely underground and in total harmony with the environment and project footprint, allowing all surface area to be put to its highest and best use – building and development.
With waterSHED™, you don’t have to sacrifice the land – period. The U.S. EPA reports that “[on-site underground stormwater detention] systems are ideal for highly urbanized areas, particularly in areas where land is expensive or may not be available for ponds or wetlands.”
The economic benefit realized when land is used optimally can be a game changer. Engineers, developers and contractors often cite the economic benefit of waterSHED™ as the primary reason for choosing this solution.
