Large heated roof drains <br />collect water and bring it down through the house structure and <br />into dispersion tanks. Our 4000 gallons of runoff can be held <br />within the tanks (the equivalent of 2" of rain falling in one <br />hour). The runoff is then dispersed and absorbed by the soil m a <br />manor similar to a septic field. Only the runoff from the walk and
