drywell
Underground water disperser
A drywell is an underground structure that collects and disperses water into the surrounding soil.
Drywells handle stormwater runoff from roofs, driveways, and other surfaces, or receive greywater from washing machines and sinks.
The well is typically a perforated cylinder or pit filled with gravel, allowing water to seep gradually into the ground rather than overwhelming drainage systems.
