Water attenuation involves underground water storage tanks which are used primarily in heavy rain / flash-flood situations. These tanks are used to reduce the amount of surface water released into the existing system, which in turn avoids back-ups and allows the water to be dispelled at a manageable flow rate.
As can be seen by our gallery photographs, these systems come in different designs and tend to be used more in commercial than residential developments, but they can still be used for car park situations within residential sites.
