The application of infiltration structures for the management and collection of stormwater in unprotected and water-protected areas plays a crucial role in preserving the quality of groundwater and sustainable water resource management. These structures provide an efficient solution for capturing large volumes of purified stormwater from impermeable surfaces (mostly manipulated surfaces) and also preparing it for infiltration into underground streams by allowing surface water to penetrate the soil under controlled conditions, thereby reducing the risk of pollution, damage, while simultaneously preserving ecosystems. Infiltration has the additional benefit of reducing surface runoff of stormwater, contributing to flood and erosion prevention, and making urban areas more resilient to extreme weather conditions. Despite the obvious advantages, successful implementation of infiltration structures in water-protected areas requires careful planning and collaboration among various stakeholders, including the local community, urban planners, engineers, and ecologists. It is crucial to identify suitable locations for the installation of these systems, taking into account soil characteristics, hydrogeological conditions, and areas that need protection. The subject of this study explores sustainable methods of stormwater management through the use of infiltration structures. The focus is on analyzing the principles and functions of different types of infiltration systems and their application in urban areas. The aim of this study is to provide an understanding of the principles and functions of infiltration structures and their contribution to sustainable stormwater management. It is also necessary to analyze the impact of infiltration on soil balance with an emphasis on the development of sustainable stormwater drainage methods in urban areas.
