An infiltration well is a specially designed underground structure that collects rainwater and allows it to seep back naturally into the soil.
In mosques, infiltration wells usually receive rainwater from rooftops, gutters, and drainage systems to reduce runoff and recharge groundwater supplies.
Rainwater that is not absorbed properly can cause flooding and water stagnation.
At the same time, groundwater usage continues to increase every year.
By building infiltration wells, mosques can:
reduce flooding and puddles
help recharge groundwater reserves
reduce rainwater runoff
maintain environmental balance
support eco-friendly mosque programs
This system can be implemented in:
large mosques
small prayer rooms
Islamic boarding schools
Islamic schools
residential homes
The design can be adjusted according to available land.
The system works during rainfall.
Rainwater falling on roofs and open areas is directed into the infiltration well so it can return naturally into the ground.
Usually installed in:
mosque yards
garden areas
near drainage channels
parking areas
around rainwater disposal pipes
Rain falls on the mosque roof and yard
Water flows through gutters and drainage pipes
Water is directed into the infiltration well
Water is temporarily stored
Water slowly infiltrates into the soil
Groundwater reserves are maintained naturally
An infiltration well is a simple yet highly beneficial solution for mosques and the environment.
By building infiltration wells, mosques contribute to groundwater conservation, flood reduction, and environmental sustainability for future generations.
