Abstract

A water drainage and harvesting system for use with an artificial turf field comprises permeable synthetic turf, permeable impact-absorbing sub-base material beneath the turf, a water collection basin below the field, a water reservoir below the collection basin, the basin and reservoir having an impermeable liner, a water tank in the reservoir, and a conduit from the tank that allows for filtered water to be pumped to the ground surface for reuse. The disclosure further relates to a method for the construction of such a water storage and conveyance system.
