AQUA RAIN WATER · PLANNING TOOL

Material Interface Route Tool

Generate a starting checklist for a defined water route, then take the unresolved inputs into project review.

Choose the intended water route

Detention / attenuation starting point

Starting material and interface checklist

  • Confirm the release, overflow and receiving-system basis.
  • Confirm required volume, footprint/depth, cover/loading, groundwater and access.
  • Identify whether a project-defined liner, protection layer, pipe interface or inspection route is required.

Inputs still to resolve

  • Approving criteria and maintenance obligations.
  • Pipe sizes, invert elevations, pretreatment and sediment-removal route.
  • Liner/protection specification where the project requires containment.

Infiltration starting point

Starting material and interface checklist

  • Start with a project-specified engineering geotextile filtration-wrap route.
  • Confirm soil/infiltration evidence, seasonal groundwater, pretreatment, drawdown and overflow.
  • Lock fibre/construction, mass, width, filter criteria, seams/overlaps and interface details in the order specification.

Inputs still to resolve

  • Authority or permit basis; some piped infiltration systems require jurisdiction review.
  • Soil and groundwater evidence; do not assume a universal bottom-wrap detail.
  • Maintenance access, sediment control and final pipe/opening detail.

Lined storage / reuse starting point

Starting material and interface checklist

  • Start with project-specified geomembrane plus protection geotextile.
  • Confirm water-use requirements, material, thickness, standard, penetrations, panel/roll format and seam-testing route.
  • Separate storage volume from treatment, pumps and controls.

Inputs still to resolve

  • Buoyancy assessment where groundwater may act on a lined system.
  • Protection/substrate detail, field seam acceptance and installer responsibility.
  • Access, pretreatment, overflow and reuse-system interfaces.

Review boundary

This tool does not issue a final design, approve soil suitability, select a liner thickness, set a wrap detail, or replace project-specific authority, hydraulic, geotechnical, structural or installer review.
