Infiltration of stormwater into underlying soils is one mechanism to achieving MECP [[runoff volume control targets]]. In many areas of Ontario, where municipal supplies of potable water are drawn from aquifers, it's also an important mechanism for groundwater recharge.

Infiltration of stormwater into underlying native subgrade soils is one mechanism to achieving MECP [[runoff volume control targets]]. In many areas of Ontario, where municipal supplies of potable water are drawn from aquifers, it's also an important mechanism for groundwater recharge.
