Hello,
our project is constrution of the new storage hall on the place of the previously existing old one. (Demolition + new construction). We are limited in terms of the free space and not able to infiltrate all the rainwater using pond, bioretention area, etc. Some water goes to the pond behind the hall but some parts are too distant from the bioretention and we can not build another one closer because of a traffic of vehicles.
We could install an underground permeable tank and infiltrate an excess of the water to the ground using this tank.
Is this acceptable LID and green infrastructure?
Thank you for your opinion!
Best regards
Frantisek

Subsurface storage that infiltrates is a viable GI approach. The intent of GI is to manage at the source, so if you're conveying a large drainage area to this storage it may not fly.
