La galerie filtrante. Cette installation pourrait être vue ni plus ni moins comme une version «haute technologie» du drain. Sa différence avec le drain réside surtout dans les matériaux utilisés pour sa construction, leur mode de mise-en-place, ainsi que sa conception étudiée. Sa capacité est supérieure à celle du drain et son entretien est facilité par une conception le permettant. Toutefois, elle est caractérisée par sensiblement les mêmes avantages et inconvénients que le drain. De la même façon, son utilisation n’ est envisagée qu'en dernier recours, lorsqu'il n’ est pas possible d’utiliser un puits tubulaire traditionnel. 3, record 2, French, - galerie%20filtrante
