By attenuating runoff volume, they reduce contaminant loads delivered to downstream BMPs, end-of-pipe facilities or receiving waterbodies.

Exfiltration systems can be used in place of conventional storm sewer pipes, where topography, water table depth, and [[water quality]] conditions are suitable. They are suitable for treating runoff from roofs, walkways, parking lots and low to medium traffic roads, with adequate [[pretreatment]].
