Conventional stormwater infiltration systems (SIF's) have historically been utilized in many jurisdictions as a means of maintaining groundwater recharge in urbanizing areas. In Ontario, concerns have been raised over the potential for aquifers to assimilate recharged waters, SIF sustainability and deterioration of groundwater quality from infiltration of urban runoff. To address these concerns a research study was undertaken involving an evaluation of SIF operations in a leading jurisdiction, hydrogeologic monitoring of six pilot SIF operations in Ontario, construction of a SIF laboratory model to observe clogging processes, 3-D groundwater flow modelling of SIF's in variable hydrogeological conditions and an evaluation of commonly applied analytical solutions for calculating the water table impact attributed to SIF operation. The results of these studies showed that when properly designed, SIF's can operate efficiently in a wide range of hydrogeological conditions and infiltration efficiency can be maintained by utilizing relatively simplistic maintenance measures.
